Our November Celebration of Learning Assembly was a great time to see what is happening in each classroom! We reviewed our code of conduct and watched an award winning short film on kindness. It is surprising how when you are kind to others, by giving deeply of ourselves, we receive so much in return. 

Our sewing lunch club has launched! Each day different learning groups have a turn at learning sewing skills. Some are learning hand sewing, while others may be learning to complete small projects or use the machines. We are seeing some great creativity come out of that room already! Watch for some pajamas to come home at some point!

Our primary classes are always a buzz of activity! Students are playing to learn through centres, games, blocks and activities. 

There is always something interesting to see and do!

Students have been having so much fun playing in the snow during their breaks! There has been sledding, fort building, and many other kinds of outdoor play. 

It has been a welcome addition to the playground!

Please remember to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothes so they can always join in.

Our makerspace activities continue this year! Tools and projects have been taken into classrooms for direct classroom instruction. Additionally, our lunch time makerspace club has begun, and students are able to work on their projects over the break. There are lots of fun things being built in this space!
