Meet the Seniors!

Posted on October 4, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Today is one of my favourite days of the school year when we get to visit the grade 7s in the gym and learn about all of their great accomplishments, hobbies, interests and favourite things. It’s so exciting for me to see my past students so confidently display themselves for the visiting classes.

Way to go grade 7s! So proud of who you’ve become. Division 8 students, what was your favourite thing you saw today on display? Was there a grade 7 that had very similiar hobbies /interests as you!? What did you have in common?

Orange Shirt Day

Posted on October 1, 2019 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.
Division 8 students participated in Orange Shirt Day in a couple different ways today. First, 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.
Later in the morning, we took part in an assembly which included singing songs and viewing videos which taught us more about Indigenous culture and the history behind this special day.
We will continue to learn more over the next couple weeks including creating Attachment Hearts, which represent the relationship ties and connections that children have with their caregivers…stay tuned!

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?

Reading in Secret Park

Posted on September 7, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Nelson primary students ended their 1st week together by gathering at Secret Park and enjoying a good book or two together.

I hope everyone had fun getting back to school this week and learned lots about The Golden Key of Trust, Growth Mindset and how to manage stress in the various classrooms you visited.
I can’t wait to meet my new class next week and start our year together!
