Nelson Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony

olympic

The Nelson Olympics started on Friday with an opening ceremonies orchestrated by the one and only Mr. Gurniak. After parading down the stage and through the gym in our classes, we were able to sit back and relax in our classrooms to watch the rest of the Opening Ceremonies which included choir performances and various exciting videos of the Olympic Games. The Nelson Olympic flag was raised, the torch was lit and we all recited the Olympic Oath (as seen below).

What will Wiarton Willie See?!

Posted on February 1, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day and our class is almost at a deadlock as to whether we think the groundhog in Ontario, Canada, Wiarton Willie, will see his shadow or not. What do you think?! Will we have 6 more weeks of winter after Wiarton sees his shadow or will it be an early spring?! Can’t wait to see tomorrow!
