Thank you @DaveAlexRoberts for sharing “When we were Alone” with some of our classes today. The photograph you shared and the cover by @julie_flett is uncanny. @newwestschools

Thank you, @inkyelbows
Thank you to Bill & @dewarmackay for providing us with hands on learning for all of the students. Watching the mason bees hatch and move through their lifecycle has been fascinating and has prompted students to act & protect these pollinators. @newwestschools
Grade 5 Kinnickinnick legacy plants, presented in our Sports Day opening ceremonies. A beautiful day to have fun and celebrate community, outdoor learning, and learning to be good ancestors. Thank you @rozzybear007 ! @newwestschools
“Be a Good Ancestor” has been the foundation of much of our learning this year. Students continue on this journey and drew mason bees in library this week. Adult bees are gone & now, mason bee eggs have become larva, eating the pollen their mothers left for them. @newwestschools
A sneak peek behind the scenes. Mason bees line tubes with clay, make pollen balls, lay an egg, build a wall. Repeat. Saw Houdini flies lurking today- they lays their eggs in mason bee tubes. @newwestschools
More amazing bee awareness posters from division 20. @newwestschools
Our Tweeds community has learned so much about mason and mining bees- they are good ancestors and want to teach others about how important these native super pollinators are. @newwestschools
