Friday Feeling | Engagement, exploration and community

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, students and educators dove into learning through engaging science experiments, sensory play, problem-solving, and discovering how sidewalk chalk and puddles can create colourful, vibrant art. Schools were a sea of orange in honour of Orange Shirt Day, and many schools took part in the Terry Fox Run, raising funds for a great cause. Students and staff show their custodians how much they are appreciated on their special day.

A promise to do better 🧡🧡🧡 #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters @ocsbindigenous #ocsbHope #ocsbReconciliAction @StGregoryOCSB @OttCatholicSB pic.twitter.com/Tzilx9wpS8

Yesterday, we had an exciting science experiment where we explored all five of our senses! We discovered how each sense helps us experience the world around us. The highlight of the day was definitely tasting the delicious treat! 🍓🍬 @PrincePeaceOCSB pic.twitter.com/TjRLvbrq0Q

AM class collaborating together on how to solve a multi-step word problem today. Lots of great discussions and we learned that there is more than one “right” way to solve a math problem! pic.twitter.com/rV6ubWZbOl

We had Outdoor Learning in the rain today. Sidewalk chalk and puddles make beautiful, vibrant artwork! Several students said playing in the rain was the best part of our day. Time to get out the rubber boots! @StVeronicaOCSB #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbArts #TakeMeOutside pic.twitter.com/XSGBj0RLOs
