Z is for ZOOM out of school & ZIP into summer!

~ One last hour together as 2018/19’s Division 8 Grade 3s – marked our last day together this school year before ZOOMING out of Nelson & ZIPPING into summer! We signed and commented in each others yearbooks, took photos for an upcoming When I Grow Up… post and Ms. Watt shared one of her very favourite Dr. Seuss books, Oh, the Places You’ll Go.
Love you Division 8, have a TON of fun this summer and I can’t wait to see you all in September!

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.

W is for WATER BALLOON DROP

We joined forces with Division 7 today and competed in a friendly WATER BALLOON drop competition! After choosing our material from a small collection of shoe boxes, cardboard, toilet paper rolls, paper towel, popsicle sticks and paper plates, we worked in groups of 2 or 3 to design a contraption to protect the water balloon!
It was SO exciting to be on the ground and see the creativity and success of your contraptions!

V is for VALUING DIVERSITY


~ We celebrated National Indigenous People’s Day with Division 7. 
Ms. Tsumori hosted us one last time and shared some delicious tea containing dandelion leaf, yarrow and stinging nettle, plants you have been learning are very important to the Indigenous people of BC. It was such a treat and most found it really yummy!  We drank it while learning about the shíshálh Nation and then created beaded bookmarks around a theme of acceptance, honour and VALUING DIVERSITY.
