3B and 1B Reading Buddies in the Forest

9/26/2025

3B and 1B have partnered up for Reading Buddies, and they took it outdoors!

Students paired up with their buddies, found cozy spots in the forest, and shared stories together under the trees. It was the perfect mix of fresh air, friendship, and a love of books.

We’re excited to see how these buddy partnerships grow throughout the year as students continue to read, learn, and explore together.

This week, Grade 11 Biology students from St. Francis came to share their learning with our grades 4 and 2 classes.

Grade 4A, explored the theme of diversity in living things, focusing on what makes insects similar and how their unique adaptations help them survive.

Students had the exciting opportunity to look at real insect specimens up close using microscopes. Seeing tiny details like wings, legs, and antennae magnified sparked lots of curiosity and questions. It was a hands-on way to connect science learning across grades!

A big thank you to Mr. Gallant and his Grade 11 Biology students for teaching and inspiring us, we loved learning alongside you!
