Hello parents, our classroom sink has been shut off due to items being shoved down the drain, causing damage that needs to be repaired by a district plumber. Although I encourage students to always have water bottles with them at school, it is even more important now as trips to the water fountain can be disruptive during class time. Thank you!

On those rainy winter and spring inside days at Nelson we’ll be learning lots of ways to move our bodies to get some energy out. We started by borrowing some ropes and trying some Chinese jump rope! We had tons of fun, I don’t know about our friends in room 103… Click on the smiley for some pics!

Inspired by the start of winter, we brainstormed why this season is some students’ favourite! To see our writing and artwork, click on the YOUNG ARTISTS tab above! 

Crossing our fingers & hoping for a white Christmas, we were inspired to do some winter artwork. To see some of our pastel art, Catching Snowflakes, click on the YOUNG ARTISTS tab above! More to come in January!

Early this school year Division 8 and 9 students introduced themselves through All About Me artwork.
Wow started with photos of us, added magazine lettering for our title and then finished with hand drawn details about what makes us us!

Orange Shirt Day is recognized annually on September 30th, in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children’s sense of self-esteem and well being, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.

Division 8 students met with their little buddies in Division 15 and traced their hands, then wrote in the hand something they can do to help others feel like they matter.

Primary classes at Nelson were fortunate to have a viewing of the movie A Plastic Ocean this week. It showed us the environmental impact of all of the plastic we use and throw away everyday.
Division 8, what can you do to help with the problem of plastic waste polluting our oceans? 
Each of us can make a difference and an impact on those around us.
(parents, this powerful documentary is available on Netflix)

I never use plastic single use bottles of water and I will not use plastic bags when I buy groceries at the store. What is your promise to our oceans?
