Halloween at St. Michaels

Posted on November 2, 2013 by Ms. Watt | 1 comment

Mrs. Lentz has passed the torch ~ after 22 years of visiting St. Michaels with her Grade 1 class, Mrs. Lentz retired last year and handed down the honour to Divisions 12 & 8. Thursday was our 1st visit of the year, although many grade 3 students in Division 8 were students in Mrs. Lentz’s class 2 years ago. They proved to be incredible leaders while interacting with the seniors at St. Michaels & the grade 1s proved to be just as gracious & friendly with the audience.
Miss Gatenby & I are very, very proud!!

Burnaby Art Gallery ~ Memories of Place

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Division 9 made the short journey to the Burnaby Art Gallery this Wednesday. Thank you parent drivers!! We were there to see 2 exhibits & create some art!

On the 1st floor we saw the Arts Alive exhibit which featured the works of talented Burnaby students. It showcased student paintings, drawings & sculptures depicting a place that holds special memories. We grabbed a clipboard & became gallery detectives & went on a Gallery Search to find key images in the works of art. We found a Pharaoh, fireworks, nighttime, & even a watermelon!
Click here to see their amazing works of art! Well done to all the young artists!

On the gallery’s 2nd floor we saw Focus on the Collection: Wood Engraving which featured a selection of wood engravings which the gallery has been collecting over the past 60 years. We took our clip boards around & studied & drew setting, line detail, & how the artists depicted calm & movement.

The second part of our visit was in the fireside room where we created our own paintings using watercolour paints & watercolour crayons depicting a place that holds special memories . Click on the tree above to see Division 9 artists at work!

Esso Cup

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

On Wednesday, April 24th we were incredibly lucky to have the Edmonton Thunder visit us at Nelson. We welcomed them in our gym with our signs held high, showing our Nelson Spirit! The team autographed signs & pennants before being introduced & seeing a power point full of pictures of their team’s great accomplishments! After the assembly, the girls came around to autograph our planners and answer all of our questions. We wished them luck & then they were on their way to an afternoon game!

After lunch, the BP team from Nova Scotia came to our classrooms & handed out hockey puck erasers & shared their team cheer with us. We met them again during gym class when some team members practiced passing around the puck & shooting with us. What a cool experience!

The best part came on Thursday, April 25th when we went to Bill Copeland arena to cheer on the Edmonton Thunder to a 3-2 win over Quebec! Division 9 had front row seats to all the excitement & were right next to the player’s bench so we got to high five them as they left & returned to the ice each period. Lucky us!
