Battle of the Books

Posted on May 17, 2018 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

After watching the grade 6s & 7s compete in their Battle of the Books, divs 8 & 9 were inspired to have their own battle. After weeks of reading and developing questions, we met with Mrs. Roberts in the library and battled!
Congratulations to everyone on their hard work!

Primary Battle of the Books!

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

We are a week away from our very own Battle of the Books ~ Primary Style!
After watching the intermediates so impressively answer questions during their battle, I can’t wait to meet with Mrs. Roberts in the library and battle ourselves!

I hope everyone has created some challenging questions and is continuing to read and get to know the books as well as they can. Happy Reading!

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

Mrs. Roberts is looking for volunteer parents / family members to help her in the library during next week’s book fair.
No experience needed! ~ Before school, at lunch, or after school ~
If anyone has time during the day or knows another parent at Nelson who might like to help out, please let myself or Mrs. Roberts know! Any amount of time is helpful & would be very much appreciated.
Thanks so much! Ms. Watt🙂
