Wear Pink Anti-Bullying Day

We've been quite busy over the last few weeks and haven't had much time to update our blog, but I couldn't let our Wear Pink Anti-Bullying Day go without a mention.

Last week, students were entertained at an assembly completely put together by another class. The theme of the assembly was anti-bullying, and their message was to be kind to others. Students all over the school wore pink and messages of kindness were displayed throughout the school gym.

Some students from Division 5 with the collaborative kindness poster we created.

While I don't claim to have all the answers to stopping bullying, I do believe that acknowledging that it happens and talking about it can help. Division 5 watched a reading of Bullies Never Win by Margery Cuyler and talked about what the protagonist went through. I've posted it here in case anyone wants to re-watch it.



Have a very kind week everyone!

This week at school division 5 is completing a brochure on BC. Included in it is information on BC weather, activities and plants and animals. The brochures also include an explanation why we have seasons on Earth.


Our school also had visiting lacrosse coaches teach us some fun lacrosse skills and activities.
