Bow Habitat

We had an awesome day with the trout at the Bow Habitat Fish Hatchery. The students learned a lot about the lifecycle of a trout. We were able to see the different stages for ourselves! Be sure to ask your child about the different stages of a fishes life! 



We took a walk through Pierce Estate Park and had the opportunity to look for signs of animals that live in the park. There were lots of interesting things to see! 

The students were so excited to feed the trout. They spent a great deal of time carefully feeding the fish and watching them fight for the food. That seems to have been a favourite activity for many of the students!

Good afternoon Grade 3 Families,   Thank you to  all  our parents and caregivers for your continued support and encouragement as we plan, review, meet and assess our students.  It is just as much a learning curve for you as it has been for us and our students. We wouldn’t be able to be as successful as we are without you. The grade three teachers  appreciate the feedback received from parents through the survey and are continuing to modify and enhance our planning to make things easier for everyone.  The  survey  is  still available for those  who would still like to contribute their feedback.   It   should take only a few moments.    Link to  s urvey:   Grade 3 Parent Feed Back Survey     Week  7  Learning Plan:     Week 7 Learning Plan Link     Reminders:     Monday:  Meet up 1pm – Go through the week’s assignmen...

Instead of meeting at 1pm, we will be meeting at 9am. This will allow for siblings to watch the grade 4 celebration and be done b efore noon. Please make not e  of that in your calendar so your child does not miss out.    In closing, w e would like to share some  housekeeping  items with you to keep you informed.    Picking up items  – Mr. Laidlaw will have sent  a  time  of when and  where you can pick up the rest of your child’s learning items. We ...
