A Music Moment

4/18/2025

Grade 1 students have been busy exploring rhythm and beats with Mrs. Durham! They’ve been learning to identify songs by focusing on the rhythm patterns. Using heart rhythm mats and popsicle sticks, students practice recognizing and understanding different beats.

This hands-on approach helps them connect with the music in a meaningful way, enhancing their understanding of rhythm. It’s been a great opportunity for the students to develop their musical skills while having fun along the way!

Grade 1A's Bird Observatory Takes Flight!

4/18/2025

Grade 1A has been busy learning all about birds, and what an adventure it has been! Students have explored how birds have different types of feet and beaks, depending on how and where they live. They’ve also discovered how birds use camouflage to stay safe in their environments.

To bring their learning to life, each student designed and created their own bird, using what they've learned. These amazing creations are now on display in their very own Grade 1A Bird Observatory right in the classroom!

It’s been a wonderful way to blend science, art, and creativity. Be sure to stop by and check out the observatory—these birds are worth a visit!

Jubilee Doors of Hope

4/17/2025

As part of our Jubilee Year celebrations, every class at our school embraced the theme of "Pilgrims of Hope" by decorating their doors in creative and inspiring ways. Each design reflected the bright future we all hope for, as well as the strength and positivity that defines our school community.

From colourful murals to messages of resilience, the doors became a beautiful tapestry of what hope means to each class. Some featured symbols of unity and peace, while others expressed dreams for a better tomorrow. The effort and thought put into each decoration was truly heartwarming and showed how much our students care about spreading hope both inside and outside the classroom.

It's amazing to see how, through art, we can all come together to honour this special year, reminding us that no matter the challenges we face, hope will always light our way forward.

Grade 5 Shares a Special Meal for Good Thursday: Remembering the Last Supper

4/17/2025

Mr. Taylor's Grade 5 students gathered for a special lunch to mark Good Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, a significant day in the Catholic faith. This day commemorates the Last Supper, when Jesus shared a final meal with his disciples and taught important lessons about love, humility, and service.

In the spirit of this tradition, students came together to share a meal and reflect on the values of kindness, community, and gratitude. They sat side by side and took time to appreciate the importance of caring for others—just as Jesus modelled during the Last Supper.

This simple yet meaningful gathering reminded us that sharing a meal can be a powerful act of friendship and unity. We are proud of our Grade 5 students for living out these lessons through their words and actions.

Happy World Autism Awareness Day!

4/2/2025

Today we wore blue!

April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day! This day is all about helping people understand autism better and showing kindness and support to everyone, no matter how they are different from us. It’s a day where people wear blue to show they care and to spread awareness.

Did you know that April is Autism Awareness Month? It’s a special time to learn more about autism and celebrate people who have autism. Autism is something that makes people’s brains work a little differently. People with autism might see the world in a unique way, and they might have different ways of talking, learning, or doing things. Everyone with autism is different, but they are all special and important!

What is Autism?

Autism is a condition that affects how a person thinks, learns, and experiences the world around them. Some people with autism might be really good at remembering facts, solving puzzles, or being creative! Others might find certain sounds, lights, or situations a little overwhelming. But just like you and me, people with autism have things they love to do, friends they care about, and dreams for the future.

Happy Autism Awareness Month!

2B Wind Racers!

3/27/2025

Grade 2B students got creative in their ADST (Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies) class by building their very own wind racers! The project was all about learning how wind power can be used to move objects, and the students had an amazing time putting their designs to the test.

Using LEGO, the students worked in small teams to design and construct their wind racers. They had to think carefully about how to make their racers catch the wind and race across the floor.
Once the racers were built, the real fun began! They used a fan to create wind and test how fast and far their racers could go.

This hands-on project not only helped Grade 2 students develop their problem-solving skills but also sparked their creativity and teamwork. It was a fantastic way to explore science and engineering in a fun, interactive way!
