The Gingerbread Lady...a story by Paige, Grade 2

Help me find my Gingerbread Lady! She has runaway! Have you seen my Gingerbread lady? She has a brown body, crinkly legs and arms. She has 8 purple buttons, purple boots, purple mitts and she is wearing a purple and white striped toque. You have to search hard to see her eyes and mouth. Her eyes are very small. Her eyes are sparkly so you will think its the northern star. Her smile is yellow but very bright and shiny. My Gingerbread lady has white stripes on her hat.

An Elf Application

Santa, I would be a good elf for you because I have pointy ears. I would help with the reindeer and feed them carrots. I make good toys.

Kon'nichiwa from Shelby

I am learning about Japan in social studies. I am learning about the emperors and how Japan was run when they isolated themselves from the rest of the world. It is interesting.

Meet my best friend on blustery, snow-driven days!

Maria (Grade 1) is the "Student of the Week" in her classroom

This week I am star of the week. At home I made a poster. I drew a picture of my family and told my classmates the day of my birthday. I brought pictures to share. My favourite picture was the one where I was sleeping in my bed with my stuffy.

Ticker Tape Timers

Mackenzie (Grade 10) Science Experiment – Distance vs. Time

In science class today we did an experiment for the start of our physics unit. What we did was set up Mrs. Sauder’s race track that has very low friction and we attached a ticker tape timer to the awesome red car to measure how fast the car goes while being pushed at a walking speed, on the length of track. To do this we used an acceleration timer (which is fairly loud). After we completed the track, we got to count dots and plot line graphs to determine how fast the car was going.

More about Operation Christmas Child

Today I would like to tell you about how we went to Fort St. John to do shoeboxes On October 25^th and 26^th . It’s in the FSJ newspaper. We sent 547 boxes to somewhere in Africa where kids don’t have much. There were sixteen tables of stuff for the kids. There was lots and lots of flip flops. Our four, five, six class spent the night in Mr. and Mrs. Alexander’s bowling alley. We went bowling and played a game with our teddy bears before bed. The best part was all the Boyland’s pop. It was really good. Here is a picture of the newspaper article.

Hola from Puerto Vallarta

 

They say that you should walk a mile in another man's shoes to understand and respect him. Now, I could add, or "ride a few miles in another man's bus." Mrs. Anderson and I have been enjoying a few days in Mexico, and have been riding the buses in Puerto Vallarta quite a lot. I've  grown to admire and respect the drivers' skills in navigating the narrow streets around tight corners, and often only inches away from other vehicles.

I admit it made me quite nervous the first few trips, but I'm growing to trust the Mexican drivers more and more. I also think about how the parents and students of Savanna School put their trust in their school bus drivers. I hope that we will always live up to that trust.

See you soon, 
Mr. Anderson

This guy might be hanging out in Tyrell's (grade 7) locker

But don't tell!!!

Another Photoshop collage for you to enjoy!

In computer class, we learned how to make a collage of images. I chose to make a collage of pictures that represent school. This activity was really fun because we learned a new technique on Photoshop.

There's Magic in Photos

In computer class we have been doing photography and working with the images on Photoshop. This is the collage I made. It has three pictures in one picture.

Winter- Bailey M (Grade 9)

Winter is here now and it's not that bad so far. I really don't like snow but it's going to be here for a while. I like how everything looks in the winter, though, so it's not too bad.

Yearbook...

My name is Rachael (grade 10). I,  along with Deanna and Mrs. Sauder,  am on the yearbook team. This is one of the pages I made last year's yearbook. :)

Braden (grade 11) knows more than he ever thought he would about pH

In Chemistry 20 we are testing pH and pOH in class.  The pH of Beaver Buzz energy drink is 3, so the pOH is 11. The pH of Powerade is 4 so the pOH is 10.  That makes both of these acidic.   

Some thoughts on the destruction in the Philippines - Joshua, grade 12

As a someone who has recently moved to Canada from the Philippines, it has been really sad to see what is happening over there. Although none of my family has been affected, it is still really upsetting to see the destruction. I really wish that we could do more to help the people that are hurt. I also wish the government in the Philippines would start helping its people. I think it's horrible that the President is doing nothing!

Yvonne Rogers (Happy Bus Driver)

Welcome Mr Winter!  Well, with the start of winter coming at us, it is great to know that our buses are safe and sound!!  

Bus Inspection

With the great job our Peace Wapiti mechanics do keeping our buses on the road for a safe trip, and the Department of Transportation officers inspecting the buses twice per year parents, bus drivers can be assured we all will do our best to transport the students Safe and Sound!!!! 

 Also a big thank you to Terry and Ron from the Spirit River EMS for coming out to Savanna to remind drivers of the School Zones. Safety First!!!
