~ …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.

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.

A number of brave souls from Division 8 volunteered to practice on their own time in order to present this famous Remembrance Day poem written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.
Click on the poem to see their wonderful reading of this special poem.
Well done everyone! I’m so proud of our contribution to this Nelson tradition.
