Last week, we welcomed families to our school at our Welcome to Kindergarten event: playing, connecting, & sharing stories - that’s just the beginning of a wonderful learning journey @RichmondSD38 @sd38ELCC

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

Took our whole school collaboration time outdoors - started with mindful breathing to consider how we shine by caring for self, others, & the land. Finished with a school wide gratitude circle. Hearts are full. @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn

Lessons from day 2 @CampJubilee: “It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about teamwork”… “I never knew there could be so many shades of green” - in slowing down, we make deeper connections to ourselves, each other, and the land @RichmondSD38

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

Gr 6s are making memories @CampJubilee “It’s so beautiful here - the clouds and trees and water - I don’t even care that it rains” - OB (Gr 6 student) Our invitation this week: slow down, be present, notice, wonder. @RichmondSD38

What better way to honour Earth Day than to spend time in nature, playing & thinking about our roles as Currie citizens in relationship with land! @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn

[April Pikkarainen @april_pikk]

Deepening connection to land & place. Gr 6/7 students visited a nearby park to learn about trees, plants, & local birds. A game of Raven Spy, nature walk, & sit spots= time to reflect & wonder about how nature communicates & what it means to be in community. @RichmondSD38

In honour of heart health, student leaders organized and led stations for our “Currie Cares in Action Day”. Students engaged in high and low intensity activities & learned about ways to care for our hearts. @RichmondSD38

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

Change begins with action, initiated by a group of students. When they noticed garbage around the school yard, these Gr 4 leaders decided to invite others in to help care for the land. Check out the 3C’s (Currie’s Clean-up Crew)! They’ll share their idea tomorrow! @RichmondSD38

Gr 3 and 4 students personalizing what the proficiency scale means to them. How might we encourage student voice in moving learning forward? @noiie_bc #srl

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

What a wonderful day of learning through shared experiences & stories. How does our connection to place inform our decisions in teaching and learning? @noiie_bc @RichmondSD38

[Linda Chau @LindaChau604]

A pro-d day with @CurrieAllStars staff exploring our sense of belonging and place through stories and artifacts @BritShipyards What a great way to connect with this land and each other! @april_pikk

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

Snow day! Stay warm and safe @CurrieAllStars families.

Primary Collaboration Time: inspired by the story The Big Umbrella, students shared ways to care for each other. Later, K student noticed the pine tree at the front of our school: “It’s like the big umbrella - there’s room for all of us” @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

Thank you to the Eco Team at @StevestonLondon for sharing ideas of sustainability with our Kindergarten learners! Connecting, learning, student-led & student-guided. @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn

[April Pikkarainen @april_pikk]

Learning in the outdoor spaces @CurrieAllStars has been rich with emergent curricular connections - design thinking, looking closely under the soil, identifying birds we see around our school. What happens when we honour student voice & follow their interests? @RichmondSD38

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

When an inquiry about squirrels led to more questions about other local animals, Gr 1 students were curious to find out more about bears. How are bears and squirrels the same? Different? @RichmondSD38 #sd38learn

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

Remembrance Day assembly was full of messages, songs, poems, and artwork that inspire us to consider: What does peace mean? What is our collective role in creating a peaceful future? @RichmondSD38 thank you to students & staff for sharing your learning & reflections

[General Currie @CurrieAllStars]

“The power of their imagination has created truly remarkable works of art that will leave you smiling & appreciating the beauty in simplicity.” What stories do children tell thru art? How might we receive these stories? @SD38Arts @RichmondSD38
