Mr. Colegate's class chicks have begun hatching today! All other classes are watching on livestream so they can join in the excitement of this moment. 

Welcome to the world baby chicks!

Mr. Colegate brought in eggs from his chickens and they're currently in the incubator.  They are scheduled to hatch on April 23/24th.  

Today, a few classes came in to see him "candling" the eggs which shows the chicks growing inside. The students were very engaged and had a lot of great questions for Mr. Colegate. 

We are hoping to set up a camera to catch the hatchlings on livestream!  Stay tuned! 

The Quesnel board of education and superintendent confirm receipt of the book titled Grave Error – How Media Misled us (and the Truth about Residential Schools), and the district denounces this book.  The written and oral stories of those who have lived through the experience of residential schools are factual and have impacted generations of families in Canada, and specifically in our region.

On Thursday, Mme Suzie's class made Leprechaun traps with the Grade 6 & 7's in preparation for his arrival the next day!  We entered the classroom this morning to find our traps destroyed and gold coins stolen! He even left pieces of his beard behind that were caught in the traps.  As you will see, the kids realized very quickly that the Leprechaun stole their inside shoes! At recess, we discovered them in the garden full of gold chocolate coins!! 

Once again, Mme Suzie has created a magical environment full of wonder and excitement!

Mr. Colegate's class celebrated March 14th, PI DAY with some yummy pies!  

Just a few of the amazing things happening in the Library with our fantastic Mrs. McCart! 

"Students created Fabergé eggs after finding out about the real Fabergé eggs, including a $13,000 egg that was found in a scrap metal shop!! 

The younger students created Easter Creatures using their imaginations, googly eyes, and wonderful scraps of wool.

The older students created Pysanky eggs, using traditional Ukrainian techniques of wax resist.

An eggcellent time was had by all!"
