Butterfly Kits in Division 6

As part of their learning about the butterfly life cycle, students in Division 6 had the exciting opportunity to build their own butterfly houses. Following detailed instructions, they worked hands-on using screwdrivers to assemble their kits. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and focus throughout the activity. A huge thank you to RONA for generously supplying the kits for this project.

Friday Fun - Family Reading, Super Hero's and Minions!

Throughout the year families in division 7 and 11 have been invited on Friday mornings to read with the class. Reading with children is very important because it supports their development in many ways - academically, socially, and emotionally.

Don't forget about the FVRL Summer Reading Club!

This past Friday was also Superhero day in division 11 where they were invited to wear fun costumes and create a mask.

Division 15 students have been asking their teacher for a fun day and today was Minion Day!

Salmon Release in Division 18

Division 18 walked to Stoney Creek to release the salmon fry that were given to the school as eyed-eggs in January through the Federal Fisheries and Oceans program Salmonids in the Classroom. Each salmon female lays about 3000 eggs. After growing and traveling through the Fraser River to the Pacific Ocean they will return to the same stream a few years later to lay their own eggs.
