We Love Reading!

Posted on September 27, 2015 by mrswatson123

On Monday mornings the K-3s enjoy reading books together. We can read the pictures or the words and we remember to sit elbow to elbow and knee to knee so both partners can see the pictures.

Here are some of our favourite books:

Mya-My favourite book in the entire world is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Caleb-My favourite book is Marvel Super Heroes because it has Spiderman in it.

Kaleigh-My favourite, favourite book is Frozen.

Joey-The Book with No Pictures is really, really funny!

Storm-I love to read with friends. I like the Rainbow Fairy book.

Star-My favourite book is Cinderella.

Eli-My favourite book is Star Wars.

Alexandra-My favourite book in the whole entire world is La La Loopsy.

Cherish-My favourite book is Puppy Place because my favourite animal is in it.

Mackenzie-My favourite is the dolphin book I was reading today. The dolphins save people and it is kind of a challenge.

Owen-Magic Treehouse is my favourite because Dad and I read it at home. It is the desert one.

Hilary-My favourite is the book about dogs.

Sierra-I like Curious George. I really like that one!

What is your favourite book?

Science Buddies

Posted on March 29, 2015 by mrswatson123

Big buddies sure are great! We would like to thank our grade 6/7 buddies who helped us with our animal research projects. The grade 6/7s helped us with the reading, and also helped us write down our ideas if we needed it. It was so much fun learning about our animals with our buddies. We think they might have learned some cool facts too!

Chinese New Year

Posted on March 1, 2015 by mrswatson123

What do you get when you take 42 vegetables, a whole lot of rice, many pairs of chopsticks, and put them all in a room with 42 hungry children? A fantastic stir fry lunch for Chinese New Year.

We all brought a vegetable to school to add to the stir fry and then the intermediate students went to work washing, peeling, chopping and stir frying. They even decorated the room and made red envelopes called lai see for each of us and put chocolate coins inside.

It was so much fun celebrating and enjoying lunch together!

Red and Pink Everywhere!

The K/1/2/3s would like to thank the student council for the fun day they planned for Valentine’s Day. Many students came to school dressed in red and pink (some from head to toe). After recess we headed to the gym for activities. There was an amazing obstacle course, hula hooping, beanbag toss, colouring, and fun games. We had a wonderful time!

A Surprise Visit!

Posted on January 20, 2015 by mrswatson123

This morning, just before recess, Constable Gary and Constable Chris stopped by the school for a visit. We had a wonderful time learning about them and their jobs as police officers. We got to ask them all sorts of questions and we even got to try on their vests. Towards the end of our visit one of the students suggested they come out to play at recess, and guess what…they did!

Mya- I like how they let us put on their vests and they showed us where they worked and lived.
Koa-I liked how they stayed for quite a while and showed us where they have gone and how long it takes to get there. Constable Chris has been a police officer as long as I have been alive.
Sierra-I liked getting to see the police and playing games with them.
Zinnia-I really liked when Kaydan wore the vest. It was so funny.
Alexandra-I like how they told us where they lived.
Melliah-I liked how they surprised us and told us about some places they worked. They let us wear their vests. I liked that they played tag with us outside.
Rosemary-I loved that they came and taught us about where they lived.
Owain-I thought it was cool that Constable Gary worked in Nunavut.
Owen-It was cool when they showed us their bullet-proof vests.

Thanks so much for spending time with us. We sure hope you will come back to visit again soon!

Great News!

As you know the K/1/2/3s participated in the Hour of Code last week. Mrs. Watson got an exciting and unexpected phone call today letting her know that our class won a very special prize!

How would you spend the money? We would love your suggestions!

Our First Soup Day

Posted on September 30, 2014 by mrswatson123

Today we had our first soup day. Four fantastic student chefs helped prepare and serve soup to all the students in the school. Our first soup du jour, chicken noodle, was a huge hit!

We would like to thank:
-Claudia for all her hard work in planning this activity for our students
-Our first student chefs: Jordan, Mia, Alexandra, and Zinnia
-The Sointula Co-op for their generous support which has made this program possible!

We are looking for volunteers who can help us with clean-up on soup days. Please contact the school if you can lend a hand.

Scientist in the School

Posted on June 6, 2014 by mrswatson123

Thanks to an application submitted by Ms. Lansdowne, we were very lucky to be chosen to receive a special presentation as a part of the Science World, Scientists and Innovators in the Schools program. The goal of SIS is to inspire students with exciting, in-school presentations by real scientists. Mr. Hutcheon certainly did a fantastic job of that!

Take a look at the fun we had while learning all about engineering:

We would like to thank Ms. Lansdowne for making this special day possible, and Mr. Hutcheon for sharing his love of science with us!

2D Shape Fun

Posted on April 20, 2014 by mrswatson123

On Monday the K/1/2/3s spent some time talking about, and exploring 2 dimensional shapes. Here’s a great song we loved singing:

Next we drew shapes of our own on our whiteboards and then played, “Guess my Shape”. Mrs. Watson gave us clues and we had to try guess which shape she was thinking about.

Finally, we got into groups and made shapes using yarn. It took a lot of teamwork to make each shape and it sure was a lot of fun!
