Nelson’s Centennial Garden

Posted on September 7, 2013 by Ms. Watt | 4 comments

Welcome Back Nighthawks!! Last year an artist was invited to come & work with all the students at Nelson to create beautiful nature themed art to decorate the fence along our new Centennial Garden. The PAC spent hours of their own time & time with students planting the garden, maintaining it & then decorating the fence with the pottery leaves & creatures from nature at the end of last school year. Thank you so much PAC for all your hard work! It’s so nice to have such a beautiful area at Nelson & Division 8 is particularly lucky to have our classroom look down upon it!! It’s admired everyday & is a great first impression of Nelson School as people drive, walk or bike along Irmin Street.

P1110139

There is also a beautiful mural created by the artist & a select group of students inside the school. It’s to celebrate 100 years of Nelson & illustrates what it is to be the best Nelson Nighthawk you can be! It is showcased as you enter Nelson from the staff parking lot, outside Miss Tsakalos’ kindergarten classroom, Rm. 101. Come & admire the students talent & hard work!

G is for GAMES & H is for HAT

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

G ~ 2 days full of GAMES! We celebrated yesterday with the run through of Primary Sports Day. We learned 7 new GAMES as we went through all the stations.
H ~ We were lucky to have an amazing sunny day today for Sports Day, so we wore our HATS to protect us from the hot rays of the sun.

I had so much fun seeing everyone come through my Noodle Javelin station & I hope you all had fun participating in all the stations & competing in the tug-of-wars too! Congratulations to GREEN HOUSE on their big Sports Day win!

Esso Cup

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!
