Earth Day Hooray!
On Thursday, April 20, Redfish School was out in the neighbourhood for the annual community clean up. This year the students worked in their multi-age groups to clean up the playground and the neighbourhood, plant pumpkin seeds for the school pumpkin patch, and create bird feeders using nature-based materials to feed the local birds.
The theme for Earth Day 2023 was “invest in our planet,” and Redfish staff supported the students to consider ways they can help.

Noon Hour Fun and Games!
Ms. Bradshaw, a school district social worker, has been at our school on Tuesdays. We have had parent volunteers as well as Ms. Bradshaw facilitating noon-hour games for interested students.
Whatever the weather, there is lots of fun learning to be had at Redfish!
October Happenings and Falling Into Nature
Redfish staff welcomed UBC’s West Kootenay Teacher Education Program (WKTEP) teacher candidates back to our school on October 5 when we held our annual Fall Into Nature for which WKTEP has been joining us for more than 7 years.
First Colour Group Activity of the Year
At Redfish School, to foster that strong sense of family that exists, not only are our classes multiage but we frequently engage in multiage activities in our colour groups.
For our first colour group activity of the year, we created a beautiful bulletin board of a school of fish noting similarities and uniqueness of the fish, swimming together.
