K/1/2 News

Last term students were learning about the history

of our school. They discovered many interesting

things and learned lots about our school. Some

students would like to share some of the interesting

things they learned throughout the unit.

It was interesting learning about our school many

years ago. Did you know that Mrs McCosker used

to be the Librarian? Did you know that there are

three flagpoles at school now? The garden has been

upgraded by bricks. Kids did not have buses in the

olden days, so some people rode horses to school

and some walked.

By Jim, Dustin and Paige.

We have been learning about our school’s history, it

was interesting. The art room used to be a weather

shed and the office used to be a library. In the olden

days, they did not have cars. I wonder how they got

to school? Maybe they rode horses or walked to

school. The basement has school records and old

furniture in it.

By Chelsey, Annabelle and Hugh.

Homework

This week in mathematics, we are learning about

We also had royalty in our classroom on Monday –

Chelsey after she won the PBL raffle.
