Happy St. Nikolaus Day

Today the students learned about St. Nikolaus Day and the traditions and celebrations associated with this holiday in countries like Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. They sewed felt shoes which they left out for St. Nikolaus to fill. This also helped the grade 3 students appreciate the work pioneer children put into making handmade gifts this time of year. Today we made, and baked, traditional German "Nikolaus men" (sweet bread). A special thanks to Mrs. MacDougall (the EA in our classroom) for sharing her holiday traditions and to Mrs. Klukas for helping out today. 

Deep River Knights

Congratulations to all the Deep River Novice Knights for making it to the A Division finals of their tournament this weekend. After a very close game, Novice team 1, including classmates Baraa and Carsen, came out victorious. Congratulations boys and all the Deep River Novice players. 

Where the Wild Things Are

Yesterday the students performed a skit based on the book "Where the Wild Things Are" to all the kindergarten classes. Over the last few weeks in art class, the students made masks and practised their skits.
