Taking too long?

Hello families! Division 8 students have sketched their very own islands, including at least 4 landforms we have been learning about, and will be creating a model of their islands on a paper plate next week!
I will provide the materials above (paper plates, plasticine, pipe-cleaners, toothpicks, card board, construction paper, tissue paper…) but students are welcome to bring their own art or craft supplies that are available to them!
Feel free to bring figurines to inhabit their island as well.
Any questions, please ask!
Thank you for your continued support, Ms. Stephanie Watt

Save the Turkeys!

Posted on October 24, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Poor turkeys don’t want to be eaten on Thanksgiving, so Division 8 students were given the task of disguising their turkey! Using anything they could find around home, they dressed their turkeys so that they wouldn’t be found and put on the table for Thanksgiving dinner.

The turkeys are now safely hidden in our classroom. *whew!*

Orange Shirt Day 2022

Posted on September 28, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Orange Shirt Day is an event that started in 2013.
It was designed to educate people and promote awareness about the Indian residential school system and the impact this system had on Indigenous communities for more than a century in Canada.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools. This week, Division 8 students participated in Orange Shirt Day in a couple different ways. On Tuesday, we tried to put ourselves in the shoes of Phyllis Webstad and created art based on what t-shirt we would want to wear on the 1st day of school and discussed how it would feel if it was taken away.
Today, a beautiful primary assembly was presented by Ms. Boyes, Ms. Tsumori, Ms. Edwards, Ms. Cobbett, Mr. Tesan and Mr. Hamilton. We ended with saying “Huy ch q’u” (“Hi-ch-ka,” giving of thanks, with our hands held in front at heart leave with palms open and facing upwards).

Nelson students, what was your favourite part of the day and how will you ensure that other students at school always feel like they matter, they are cared for and they are important?
