Gr 4/5 students walking field trip to Evergreen Park

The grade 4/5 class all went on a walking field trip to Evergreen Park on June 22. They had a fabulous time playing a variety of games, hanging out and celebrating the end of another great school year.
National Indigenous People's Day - June 21

On June 21st we celebrated National Indigenous People's Day by gathering together and drumming and singing a variety of indigenous songs that Ms. Clark our fantastic music teacher has been teaching everyone over the past 6 months. The song were gifted to her by various indigenous artists. The drums were made by our grade 5's this year and have been used every day by our students to celebrate Indigenous culture.
Mr. Morwick recently made his own drum and in the picture Ms. Clark is helping him "wake" his drum up by playing a heart beat rhythm over it as well as salt was poured over the drum to give it "flavour" in its sound. Mr. Morwick then played a heart beat rhythm with Ms. Clark as his drum came "alive"
Rocky Point Ice Cream

The Rocky Point Ice Cream truck visited the school on June 21 and everyone greatly enjoyed having a sweet treat in the afternoon.
The Bees are Buzzing

The bees are buzzing and the flowers are in bloom around Blakeburn. Students have been learning about insects, worms, aquatic life, plants and animals that are all around the school. We had a bear make a visit to our back field recently and we have seen so many baby goslings and ducklings on the lagoon walks that the students have been taking. The students have produced beautiful art that show the wildlife around us and have been writing stories that show this as well. We are proud of all that they are learning and creating.
Blakeburn Elementary Grade 5 Leaving Ceremony

The grade 5 leaving ceremony went off smoothly and it was wonderful to be able to celebrate our students and all that they have achieved over the last 6 years! Having parents/guardians there in person was such a great experience and we appreciate their support over the years. Thank you to all the staff and parents who contributed to the event to make it a great day for the students!
