New Norway School

Our Grade 7 students combined science and art in an exciting interdisciplinary project: creating stunning three-dimensional plants! Designed to deepen their understanding of plant organs and adaptations to various environments, this hands-on activity brought classroom learning to life in a creative and engaging way.

As they worked, students explored the intersection of biology and design, gaining a deeper appreciation for the diversity and adaptability of plants. The classroom was alive with energy as they shared ideas, collaborated on techniques, and brought their creations to life.

New Norway School was blessed by the opportunity to spend time with Knowledge Keeper Carolyn and Battle River School Division’s - Indigenous Support Worker Thomas Francis. Our students built moccasins, listened to stories, shared words/ideas/feelings and grew in their understanding of indigenous ways of knowing, being, creating and doing. Thank you Carolyn and Thomas. We are richer for our experiences with you.
