1. Nature Walk

On May 19 Mrs. Helps took students for a nature walk at Campbell Valley Park. Students learned how to identify certain plants, the story of the Cedar Tree, they witnessed a busy ant colony and had chickadees eating out of the palms of their hands. It was a beautiful day connecting with the land, right in our own back yard!

2. Student Aboriginal Art

Aboriginal art done in the style of Roy Henry Vickers to teach the Seven Grandfather Teachings.  Love, Respect, Truth, Wisdom, Honesty, Humility, and Courage.

3. Ceremonial Coast Salish Bag

Brielle and other Grade 4s and 5s learned how to Coast Salish weave a quarter bag used in ceremonies.

4. Grade 5 Bowling

The grade 5’s had a blast at their year end field trip! They bowled in the fluorescent lights, had cake and celebrated good friendships :O)

5. Grade 5’s at the Park

Div 1 and 2 in the park.  Mrs. Watkins and Ms. Corsan took their classes to the park to celebrate the end of the year. What a beautiful sunny day to hang out with friends. 

 6. Camping at School!?

Division 11 had a crazy last week because we decided to camp in the class for the whole week! We had pop corn, did a small hike in our field and enjoyed some s’mores and freezies. Just what we needed to celebrate the wonderful year and the beginning of a nice summer.
