Z is for ZOOM out of school & ZIP into summer!

Z ~ One last hour together as 2015/16’s Division 8 Grade 3s – marked our last day together this school year before ZOOMING out of Nelson & ZIPPING into summer! We finished our e(Xplosions) volcano activities, we took photos for an upcoming When I Grow Up… post & Mrs. James shared one of her very favourite Dr. Seuss books, Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
Everybody should have their Flat Stanleyimages selves at home, if not click HERE, take lots of pictures around town & in your travels abroad, & I can’t wait to see all the places that you explore this summer!
Love you Division 8, have a TON of fun this summer & I can’t wait to see you all in the fall with Baby James!

V is for VACATION FROM SCHOOL WORK!

V ~ Instead of a VACATION from School at Suncrest Water Park, we got to enjoy a VACATION from School Work with a bunch of fun activities with the other primary students!
In the morning we had an hour of gym & had tons of fun when playing
Ultimate Go Go Stop with Ms. Tsumori’s class taught by the fabulous Mr. Witton!
After lunch we relaxed in the primary wing hallway with Ms. Burns’ & Ms. Tsumori’s classes. We read books, drew, hung out with stuffies, played games & enjoyed some snacks!
Our last hour of VACATION from School Work was spent celebrating some our completed Telegamis & then learning from Ms. Tsumori’s class how to make successful paper airplanes along with Miss Edward’s class!
Not a bad 2nd choice!
