We were so thrilled to learn that we were going to be buddies with the kindergarten class in Miss Swift’s class! We are learning this year to take on more leadership roles and be good role models for our school community, especially the younger classes. 

We are excited for this opportunity to show good leadership skills and are ready to help with reading, crafts, and much more!

We debriefed after our first visit the other day and we agreed that we really enjoyed meeting our new friends and liked helping them create a Thanksgiving craft. Great job, Grade 3s!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our families and our community! We have so many things we are grateful for, especially our family, friends, and our health. 

Today, we started the day with a liturgy in the gym, then our Turkey Trot, and finally Turkey BINGO. Lyla from our class won some prizes while a few of us came so close. Bravo!

It was a full day and we are thankful for all of our opportunities provided for us.

• We are thankful for our legs that allow us to walk and run.
• We are thankful for our ears, mind, and heart to hear the word of God.
• We are thankful for our eyes and mind to allow us to play games such as BINGO.
• We are thankful to our class family for cheering for us as we worked hard to cross the finish line.

Have a wonderful weekend! Gobble, gobble.

Each year, we honour and show that we are thinking about the indigenous children and families who were mistreated for many years through the residential school system. We want them to know they matter and their stories are being heard and talked about.

We watched this video in class and had some good discussion about why we wear orange t-shirts.

The actual day to wear orange is September 30th, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The annual Terry Fox Run at our school took place recently and we were ready to make him proud! We gave it our best effort to run for all those affected by cancer, including perhaps family members, family friends, and even Terry himself. 

It was a beautiful morning for our event. Have a look at some of our photos! Way to go!

Every September the 15th ish, we celebrate Dot Day–a day where we celebrate how we can make our mark in the world. It is based on the book called The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the book. We listened to a message from the author and enjoyed listening to a song written about the book. Check it out below.

Today, we found our classmates wearing dots in their hair, on their socks, in their lunches, and even on their nails!

It was a beautiful day outside so we drew dots outside with chalk, made dot headbands, delivered dot treats to staff members, made dot art, and much more.

I hope everyone had a great day! Until next year…

A big thanks to all the families who came to our Open House! It was nice to see so many of you and share our learning space with you. Perhaps you even sampled some of the food trucks on site.

Our students had made a self-portrait and parents had to guess which one was their child…some of you guessed correctly on the first try…impressive!

Have a look at our portraits!
