Photos

Welcome to our K/1C class! This is all of us on one of our first days of school! Stay tuned for more photos of us being busy and having fun. Have a great year.

This is us warming up for our annual Terry Fox Run! The students did a wonderful job doing laps through our forest trails. Thank you to everyone who donated money to support this event and help find a cure for cancer!

We made Apple Crisp in the cooking lab. It was our first recipe of the year and it went over very well. So much so that it was hard to get a photo of anybody who still had food in their bowl! Thank you very much to the parents and Grade 8 helpers who joined us. Thank you also to Jase and his mom and dad for all the apples!

As part of our science unit on insects, we made some butterfly crafts today. Thank you to Mrs. Crossley for helping us to make them!

It was Orange Shirt Day today, a day to recognize the sadness many children experienced in residential schools. We are wearing orange to show that Every Child Matters and that all children should feel safe and loved at school.

To recognize Fire Safety Week, we are Fire Chiefs and Fire Captains. The numbers we are showing are the numbers we would call our fire stations.

Thank you to Assistant Fire Chief Chris and Firefighter Mike for teaching us about fire safety. We liked checking out the firetruck and all the equipment. The lights and sirens were cool too!

We made pinecone turkeys for Thanksgiving and were so hungry that we started eating them! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Thank you very much to everyone who was able to join us for our field trip to Providence Farm. We loved the hayride and are looking forward to carving our pumpkins with our big buddies.

Thank you very much to Bristol and her Mom, Kate, for bringing their baby chicks in for a visit! We loved getting to hold them, especially when they fell asleep in our hands! Maybe we can get some for class pets!!??

We made Ghost Cookies for Halloween! Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, and buddy helpers who supported us today. We hope you have a great Halloween!

We carved the pumpkins from Providence Farm with our Grade 8 buddies today! Some of us had a great time pulling out the pumpkin guts! Thank you buddies for all your help!

We went bowling with our Grade 6/7E buddies. Thank you to Duncan Lanes for hosting us and to the parents who came out to cheer us on.

Students in Grades K-5 were able to participate in Running Club for the past few months. Many of our K/1 students would run before school on Tuesdays or during lunch break on Thursdays. Bodhi received a certificate for running the equivalent of 5km. Congratulations Bodhi! Running club is over for the season but will start up again in the Spring.

We made cinnamon buns and they were delicious! Thank you to everyone who helped us today. We hope you got to eat some too!

Thank you Mr. Untereiner for visiting our class and reading The Impatient Caterpillar to us. It is a story about a caterpillar who is in a hurry to become a butterfly. We really enjoyed the story and had lots of giggles! Please come back and visit again soon Mr. U!

We went on a field trip to the Forest Discovery Centre to ride the Christmas Train! We got to go with our Grade 1/2 buddies. Thank you Mrs. Bota for organizing the trip and thank you to all the parents and grandparents who were able to join us.

Thank you very much to Grade 5B who helped us make Gingerbread Houses! Some of the candy actually made it onto the houses! The group pictures show how proud we are of our houses, pointing to the ones we made, and finally, sharing how we think we will act after eating all of the candy!!

This is us practicing for our Christmas concert! The show is called In a Galilee Far, Far Away. We are performing in two numbers - one as crew members and one as angels and shepherds. We are very excited for this concert and hope you enjoy the show!

Santa and his elf, Bunny, came to visit during our Turkey Dinner! He said hello to his elf (Bob) and shared some treat bags with us. We hope you have a good rest before your big night Santa!

To celebrate the last day of school before Christmas break, we are wearing festive colours today! This is us wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Love K/1C!

Eliana read us a Lion story today! Great job Eliana! Thank you for sharing with us!

We made Brownies! Thank you very much to all the parents, grandparents, friends, and former students who helped out today!

Ms. Carlin's niece, Cate, helped out in our class today! It was so fun to have her join us. We hope she visits again soon!

Gong Hei Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year! Mrs. Crossley shared traditions with us, brought us treats, and helped us make lanterns and fans. Thank you Mrs. Crossley!

It was pyjama day today! We had a Teddy Bear Picnic and spent the day in the "forest". It was a fun day. Thank you to everyone who brought in treats for our picnic. And thank you to our Grade 6/7 buddies who made trees for our forest.

We wish it could be pyjama day all the time!

We had a fun day in the snow here! And the following day was a SNOW DAY! Yippee!

Thank you Father Roger for visiting our classroom during Catholic Schools Week! We enjoyed learning about your family and why you decided to become a priest!

It was Dress Like a Teacher Day! Charlotte was not able to attend classes today; however, she dressed up at home. She looks exactly like me!

Congratulations Jovi on winning sour candy treats for getting the closest answer in our school's candy guessing game!

Happy Valentine's Day love K/1C! This is our "We Love You to Pieces" art work for our families!

We went on a gymnastics field trip today! Thank you to Duncan Dynamics for having us and to all the parents who came to cheer us on!

We celebrated the 100th Day of School today! We dressed up like we were 100 years old! It is hard to believe we are more than half way through the year already!

We made chocolate chip cookies today! Some of the cookies had more chocolate chips than batter so they were very gooey and very yummy! Thank you to everyone who helped out! We appreciate it very much!

Happy Anti-Bullying Day! We are wearing pink for Pink Shirt Day and to remind everyone that kindness matters every day!

Mrs. Crossley helped us make masks for Mardi Gras! Can you tell who we are?!

To celebrate Mardi Gras, the Knights of Columbus and the Parent Support Group made pancakes and sausages for us. Some of the students ate five pancakes!

Thank you to Michelle from the SPCA for visiting our class and teaching us about dog safety. We had a lot of fun playing with your dog, Panda!

Thank you to Jase, Maren, Tamara, and Brad for bringing in their baby chicks to visit us for the day! We had a great time with them and did not want them to leave. Congratulations Jase on being such a great helper with your chicks. We learned a lot from you!

Thank you Mrs. Scholten and Mrs. Pronk for bringing in your baby lamb, Tiny. She is soooo cute and we love the noises she makes! In one of the pictures it looks like Tiny is smiling!

Archer and his family brought their dog, Hunter, for a visit. We liked petting Hunter and learning about what makes him so special. We also liked that Hunter cleaned the floor so we did not have to!!

Thank you to Maverick, and his family, for bringing Hudson in for a visit! We could not believe how calm he was with our class. What a relaxed kitty!

We were lucky to have three special guests come into our class today! Mr. Untereiner reads us the story "Chester" and Mr. and Mrs. Parr read "Mosey". Both stories are about cats and the trouble they get into. Mr. Parr wrote the story "Mosey". We gave it a thumbs up!

To complete our unit on pet care, Bristol and her mom brought in their family dog, Maverick. We were very impressed with all the tricks he can do! Thank you to everyone who brought in their pets to share with us. We wish all the animals could stay in our classroom all the time!

We made Cheese Biscuits (my favourite) and they were a big hit! Thank you very much to the parents and grandparents who helped us out! We really appreciate your support!

We planted Bush Beans for Lent (with Lenten promises written on notes and planted with the seeds). We took the plants home during Spring Break and here are some photos of the success our K1 gardeners have had with their plants. The beans without people in the photos belong to Hunter, Eliana, and Mrs. Crossley. Well done to all our green thumbs!

Charlotte's Grandma Gloria visited our class and taught us about the Kwakwala language. She also shared her button blankets with us and showed us how to make some of our own. Thank you very much Grandma Gloria and Charlotte. We had a wonderful time with you!

We had the opportunity to zoom with an educator at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. She taught us about animal adaptations, especially relating to dinosaurs. We got to see some really cool fossils and ask lots of questions (like Archer is doing to the left). We also pretended that we were dinosaurs wandering the land and searching for food.

We like when Mrs. Rasmussen visits our class. Here she is reading us a story that explains the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The book is called 3 In 1: A Picture of God. Thank you Mrs. Rasmussen!

For Holy Thursday, Mrs. Rasmussen came back to our class and washed our feet, just like Jesus did for his friends. We loved how nice it felt! We are now going to look for ways we can show acts of kindness to our friends and families over the long weekend. Thank you Mrs. Rasmussen! Happy Easter everyone!

We are studying dinosaurs right now and are starting diorama projects. Step one is to paint our dinosaur habitats, step two is adding our clay characters, and step three is producing creative writing stories about our projects! We definitely have great imaginations in our class!

We made Banana Chocolate Muffins today! Thank you very much to our parent and grandparent helpers! We hope you enjoyed the muffins as much as we did! Only one more baking class left before the end of the year!

Charlie (Mr. Reed) visited our class to share his dinosaur knowledge and enthusiasm with us. He read a few stories and answered some questions for us. Thank you so much for your visit Charlie!

At the end of our nutrition unit, Mrs. Crossley brought in some fruits for us to sample. Some of the fruits were foods we had never heard of before. We tried everything and kept going back for more (some students did not want their photos taken). Mango and dragon fruit were definitely our favourite. Thank you Mrs. Crossley for the tasty, and healthy, snacks!

We went to the Hand of Man Museum with our Grade 6/7 Buddies! We had a great time and saw a lot of cool creatures. Thank you to our buddies and all the parent helpers who were able to join us!

Here we are with step two of our dinosaur projects. We have added our clay and completed our dioramas. We are excited to invite other classes to come in to see our projects and hear our creative writing stories!

We had our Dino Dig today! Here we are dressed like paleontologists and with all our digging tools! We even have a metal detector to help us out! Thank you Kate W. and Curtis G. for assisting us!

Ms. Carlin's job during our dig was to take the photos. If we wanted our discoveries documented, we asked her for a photo. Some of us were too busy working to remember to ask for many pictures!

We had a party today to celebrate filling our rock jar! When our teachers caught us making good choices they would put rocks in the jar. To celebrate our good behaviour, we got to choose what to wear, what stuffed animals to bring, what to eat, and what to do for the whole day. Thank you to everyone who brought in treats for the occasion! We had so much food!

Science Ventures students from UVIC visited us today for a workshop on Light and Sound! We had a lot of fun playing Sound Bingo, guessing at items hidden in cups, making harmonicas, singing, and using flashlights to see how much light goes through objects. Thank you to our School Parent Group (PSG) for providing this opporunity!

We made pizza from scratch in the cooking lab. It was our final cooking class of the school year! Thank you very much to the parents who helped us out today and with all of our recipes throughout the year! We could not have done it without you! You can find all our recipes on the website link at the top of the page. Enjoy!

K1C went on a field trip to the Hof Farm! We had the best time with Farmer Gerry and Farmer Mary! Some of the things we got to do were feed the cows, play with the goats, see the pigs, feed the chickens, collect eggs from the chicken coop, go on a hayride, hunt for alligators, have a BBQ, run in the fields, and make metal art. Thank you to Gerry and Mary Hof and all the parent helpers who made this day so wonderful!

Today we did our French play for our parents, grandparents, and Grade 6/7 Buddies! Merci to everyone who was there to cheer us on!

Happy Birthday Father Roger! Thank you for visiting our classroom today. We hope you enjoyed all the treats from Mrs. Crossley. Have a wonderful day! Love K1C

It was Fun Day today! The students had the best time running through stations, having a water balloon toss, and participating in a Tug O' War. Although I was not able to attend this day, here are some photos I received. Thank you to Mr. Battie and everyone who made the day so much fun!

We had a Pizza Party today! Here is a picture of us, with very full tummies, about to send a thank you video to Jase, Tamara, Brad, and Maren for providing this delicious lunch for us. It was so yummy! Thanks again!

We had a special assembly today to recognize Indigenous Peoples Day! Thank you to our Special Guests and to the teachers who participated in this event.

Happy Graduation Day to us! Here we are on the last day of school! Our Kindergarten students are now in Grade 1 and our Grade 1 students are moving up to Grade 2! We will miss you all so much! Congratulations!
