Orange Shirt Day

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.
           
Nelson students, 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

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!

…It’s the Last Day of School!

We started our day with sharing our wonderful Social Studies and Science posters and then celebrated with YIPPEE, it’s YEAR END free time with games and lots of Timbits and snacks!
In the afternoon, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Ng led a wonderful Graduation Ceremony. I was so proud to present 5 past students with citizenship awards and I hope to be presenting one to you in 4 years! What a great way to mark our last day full together for the 2018-19 school year.

Spheros!

Grade 6s and 7s from Division 2 shared their Sphero projects with us this afternoon. Spheros are spherical robots that are capable of rolling around under the control of an iPad. 

Students integrated ADST into their social studies curriculum using ancient civilizations from around the world as themes for their obstacle courses.

End of Year Band Concert

Mr. Denroche treated us to a wonderful band concert this morning. The undercover area was the perfect location as the hot sun made the outdoor concert possible.

Community Cleanup

Nelson spent a beautiful Friday afternoon cleaning up our community and enjoying the sunny afternoon with our buddies.
With bags full and tales of the most interesting item found, we returned to school before heading home for the weekend.
Thank you for all your hard work Nelsonites!
