We were tasked with designing a newspaper advertisement for the Burnaby Now newspaper. Our class was asked to design an ad for The Valley Bakery in North Burnaby. The Valley Bakery bakes fresh every day. They bake breads, buns, cookies, muffins, pastries and more. They have beautifully decorated cakes for all occasions too!
Here are some pictures of us in design mode:

Today, in class Ms. Knowlan our student teacher taught a lesson based on the book The Great Realization written by Tomos Roberts. The book is about the pandemic, times of crisis, and the many global issues we are facing today. It also highlights how the pandemic has helped us open our eyes to some of these global issues during the global pandemic.
A few questions we discussed as a class were:
What do you think the meaning of this poem is?
What are some things that resonated with you?
In the video how does the relationship between Roberts and his siblings influence his message, choice of words, delivery and impact?
Does Tomos Robert paint a positive or negative picture?
Do the illustrations from the book change your perception or understanding?
Why do you think the author chose the title “The Great Realization”?
What are some key issues he identifies?
How does he portray the world after lockdown?
What does he mean by “hindsight’s 2020”?
For the next lesson we will be partnered up and asked to write and illustrate our own poems on global issues affecting us today (poverty, pollution, climate change, inequality, technology consumption, war, natural disasters, over population, corruption, etc.).

Links to Student Presentations on our Burnaby North Seymour Candidates:
This year students from Divisions 1 through 5 researched about historically significant people, places, and events in Canada. They used inquiry processes to ask questions; gather, interpret, and analyze ideas; draw conclusions and make ethical judgements about events, decisions, and actions; and used technology and design skills to communicate their findings to their audience.

Students did an excellent job and we learned lots from their presentations. Well done everyone!
What a wonderful way for us to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day! Last year, we embarked on a weaving project with Coast Salish weavers Angela George and her apprentice Caitlin. They led us through a process where together we brainstormed our school values. Words such as kind, caring, our natural environment and the weaving of our French and English program were all ideas that were woven into the loom.
This weaving will hang proudly in our main foyer. We will revisit this with all of our students in the coming school year.
Special thanks to Alivia, Breton and Aaliya from Div 7 who received the weaving on behalf of our Aubrey community. Additionally, we thank our kindergarten children who so beautifully sang the Coast Salish Anthem with the arrival of the weaving.
In class this week we discussed the devastating impacts, past and present, of the residential school system in Canada.
We offer our deepest condolences to all Indigenous families and communities affected by the trauma and tragedy of the residential school system, then and now.
While we cannot change the past, we do have a responsibility for the present. With knowledge and mutual respect we can bring about changes for a brighter future.
