FDK Hatches Chicks

Posted on by admin

Egg-Citing News at St. David School!

For the past 21 days the Full Day Kindergarten students at St. David Catholic School have been doing an inquiry on chickens. Through books, drama activities, art projects, videos and songs the students have been learning about the hatching process of chicks. This week the students were very excited as they watched 14 new chicks hatch from their eggs in their classroom incubator!

“At St. David School, we strive to provide our students with authentic, hands on learning opportunities. This is an inquiry the entire school gets involved in and looks forward to every year” said Lindsay Michel, FDK teacher. “It builds community through learning, fun and hands-on real life experiences”.

“I learned that when the chicks come out of the incubator they are wet and when they dry off they go in the brooder. I like that my mommy can come to my school and see what we are learning” stated Emma Carlucci, St. David FDK student.

Parents and families that live in the Donovan, Flour Mill and Louis Street areas are reminded that St. David School is hosting it’s “Welcome to Kindergarten” morning on Tuesday May 10 at 11 am. All newly registered kindergarten students and their families are encouraged to attend.

BAC Students learn about The Holodomor

Posted on by admin

Bishop A. Carter students took part of a enriching and eye opening activity. The term Holodomor (death by forced starvation, in Ukrainian) refers to the starvation of millions of Ukrainians in 1932-33. The Holodomor was the result of policies of the leadership of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party, which inflicted the Holodomor on the Ukrainian countryside.The ‘Holodomor National Awareness Tour’ is an RV travelling across Canada and the USA. The RV is set up like a theatre with 12 “4K” televisions. They are also equipped with tablets which students used for group work and interactive learning. Students left the RV with a better understanding of what a genocide really is and the importance of the tolerance to other cultures.

Catholic Education Week May 1 – May 6: Opening Doors of Mercy

Posted on by admin

Pope Francis has declared 2016 a “Holy Year of Mercy” as a way for the Catholic church to “make more evident, its mission to be a witness of mercy”. The Holy Year began on December 8, 2015 and will be celebrated until November 20, 2016.

As well, Pope Francis opened the Vatican’s Holy Door on December 8th. The Holy Door is opened to evoke the concept of forgiveness which is the main focus of a Holy Year. The theme God’s mercy is illustrated in fifteen of the sixteen bronze panels that make up the Vatican Door. There are seven such Holy Doors in the world, including one in Quebec City.

Catholic Education Week 2016 combines both the theme of mercy and the act of opening doors of reconciliation, mercy and forgiveness to all around us.

Catholic Education Week is marked by special activities at all grade levels, including prayer celebrations and service activities.

We invite you to visit our schools during this special week and to participate in any of our activities as we celebrate Catholic Education Week 2016. See the list of activities.
