Happy Earth Day

 Earth Day in Kindergarten 

Today was a beautiful and meaningful day in our kindergarten class as we celebrated Earth Day together!

We began with a classroom activity where students shared thoughtful ideas about how they can help care for the Earth. From turning off lights to recycling and protecting nature, their ideas showed just how much they understand the importance of looking after our world. Students also painted beautiful pictures of the Earth, expressing their creativity and love for our planet.

After our classroom learning, our kindergarten students teamed up with the Grade 5 class for a special garbage clean-up around the school. With gloves on and bags in hand, students worked together to collect litter and help keep our school environment clean. It was wonderful to see our youngest learners collaborating with older students, building connections and showing responsibility.

It was a joyful day spent outdoors, learning, working together, and taking action. We are so proud of our kindergarten students for showing care, teamwork, and respect for the environment.

Please enjoy the photos and video capturing these special moments!

Happy Earth Day! 

Math - 2D and 3D Shapes

This term we had a great time exploring 2D and 3D shapes in the environment. Students were taken on a shape walk around the school where they identified different shapes they saw. In the classroom, students used shapes to build various structures.  Our final challenge was to build a shape robot using a mixture of both 2D and 3D shapes. Students were also given an opportunity to present their robots in front of the class as they practiced their oral skills.

Shape Robots

Students created different robots using recycled materials. 

students were also challenged to present their robots to a grade 3 class. At first, they were a little nervous but they were willing to take on the challenge. The grade 3 class was very accommodating and students had fun presenting their work. 

Earth Day

April 22nd - Earth Day 2017

Students have been learning about the significance of Earth Day and what we can all do to help protect the environment. Our Earth Day craft is a picture of the earth with an emphasis on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Why do we celebrate Earth Day?

There is a global recognition of Earth Day as each of us has an important part to play in saving the environment. Many people around the world get involved in projects and efforts to bring an awareness to environmental issues. Many schools have clean up days and other projects to get students involved in efforts to prevent pollution.
