PAST PROJECTS
ANNUAL PLAY
For many years, Grades 3 and 4 put on an annual play with an environmental message in December.
In 1999, it was adapted from "The Sea Serpent" by Emily Carr. All the students in the class participated and each made a paper mache animal mask to wear.
During the previous 10 years, different legends from First Nations were presented as plays which express respect for nature and for others.
