Our kindergarteners had a fantastic time celebrating the end of the school year with a fun-filled field trip at Confederation Park! The day was full of watermelons, smiles and laughter.
A big thank you to all the parent volunteers who made this trip possible — we appreciate your time and support!
Inspired by the story It’s Not a Box, our class transformed ordinary cardboard boxes into extraordinary creations! We used our imaginations to transform plain cardboard boxes into rockets, cars, animals, homes, and so much more. With just a little creativity, markers, paint, and tape, each student brought their own ideas to life. This activity sparked creative thinking and problem-solving—and most importantly, lots of fun!
Our kindergarten class has been learning about plants. We have been learning about the different parts of a plant, how they grow, and the importance of plants in our world. We are having a wonderful time exploring and discovering with our friends!
We planted pretend flowers.
Celery and seed observation
Observational drawing and Van Gogh inspired sunflowers
Runner Beans
Flower shopping with pretend money
The teams did so well working together and cheering each other on! A special thank you to the Grade 7s for organizing all the stations. What a fun and exciting day for everyone!
We had a fun couple of weeks learning how to jump rope! Students from Division 3 came into our gym classes and helped to teach some of the skipping stations. For many kindergartners, this was their first time attempting to jump rope. We set small goals for ourselves, and when the skipping was too difficult, it was okay to do some simple jumps.
Thank you Division 11 for participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year! We have a few days left to reach our fundraising goal. Please consider supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Thank you to parents and the community for your donations!

The children had a blast exploring the different stations led by Lucinda of Gym Sense Gymnastics. Lucinda did a wonderful job of introducing the children to the equipment safely and in a fun way. Many students stated they had never tried Gymnastics equipment before, and some were a little hesitant to start. Students developed their skills in strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, confidence and most importantly, they had fun! Individual photos of children will be sent to you in separate emails.
Some comments from the children:
“I liked the beams.”
“I love swinging and climbing the rope.”
“It was hard to stand on the balancing thing, but I liked it.”
“The monkey bars were hard. But fun.”
Our kindergarteners had a day full of colorful, creative fun! We kicked things off with a our annual Parkcrest Easter egg hunt in the forest. Thank you to the PAC for organizing it!
Next up, it was time to get artsy with egg decorating! Each child received their very own egg-shaped cutout to bring to life with sharpie and paint. The creativity was amazing — from rainbow designs to polka-dot masterpieces, every egg was unique, just like our little artists.
To wrap up the fun, the kids headed outside for some chalk drawing with egg-shaped chalk. The blacktop became a canvas of Easter joy! It was a day filled with laughter and lots of happy memories!
Enjoy the long weekend with family and friends. Happy Easter everyone!
