Students explored the importance of laws and learned about the people and groups who advocate for new laws in our society. To deepen their understanding, students participated in an anonymous classroom voting exercise, experiencing firsthand how decisions can be made fairly. They also created their own ‘fair/unfair’ paddles, which they used to actively engage in discussions about various laws, rights, and responsibilities. This interactive approach fostered critical thinking, civic awareness, and respectful debate.

Students worked together to create a hands-on map of New Brunswick using playdough. As they shaped the province, they identified and marked the locations of Indigenous communities within our province, as well as the St. Lawrence River. This collaborative activity fostered teamwork, geographic awareness, and respect for the cultural significance of these communities and natural landmarks.

Students kicked off the school year by writing creative diary entries, reflecting on their summer adventures and imagining life as a crayon. Through these engaging activities, students practiced essential writing skills, including organizing ideas, expressing emotions, and using descriptive language. This fun and thoughtful exercise encouraged self-expression and set the stage for a year full of creative learning.

During our first week in Math, we played some “Minute to Win It” games. These quick and exciting challenges helped us get to know each other, build teamwork, and practice problem-solving skills, all while having fun!
