We wrapped up the first month back from Winter Break with ice-skating fund and Lunar New Year celebrations!

So wonderful seeing everyone back at school! Our first week back was full of activities. Students enjoyed baking ‘Galettes des Rois’ with Mme Gigi and preparing decorations for the Lunar New Year!

Grade 3 students joined Upper Elementary students on an Art Walk this past Friday. Artist Oscar Deras spoke to our students about his work as an artist and shared some of the historical maps from the gallery’s collection of cartographers from Spain and Canada as well as historical Japanese wood block prints. Students were also treated to a talk by Lisa Wayrynen and Kathy Van Gogh (President and Vice-President of the Vancouver Visual Art Foundation) on the different techniques used by artists and how artists price their works. Many thanks the Brian Scott Gallery, Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, and Art@Bentall Gallery for hosting our students!
