Our Community



Hello Grade Fours and Fives!

What a great collection of questions!

This week, we would like you to take time to read several of the questions from each other's class. Once again, scroll down to last week’s blog and click on ‘comments’ to see them all. Grade Five questions appear in the first half of the list of comments while Grade Four questions appear in the last half.

Read a selection from students in your neighbouring community. Using these questions as a guide, write a paragraph describing your own community.

Grade Fives, I will be assessing your paragraph structure.

Once again, we are looking forward to reading all of your responses.

Hi my name is spongebob. Here are some of the answer to some of the quistions you guys asked. Vanderhoof does not have a swimming pool. But Vanderhoof does have computers. Vanderhoof gets really cold in the winter. Some times it gets really hot in the Summer in Vanderhoof. In Vanderhoof if you asked me what the best sport I would say hockey.

Hello Grade 5s.

My name is shadow501. These are the things you would see in Fort St. James. The big statue in the middle of town is a logger
and it is there because lots of people in Fort St. James are loggers. One of the most popular sports I think is hockey. Lots of people play hockey. There are boys teams and girls teams in Fort St. James.

Bonjour [Hello] grade fives,
The following answers are answers to the questions asked about Fort St. James last week. The senary you would see in Fort St. James is varied. It really depends on where you are. You will always see trees and mountains, probably the lake and buildings too. In a forest you would see trees on a mountain. You would see rocks unless it's winter.
Au revoir [goodbye]

Dear Grade 4's,
I saw that Spaniel asked "does anybody play speed skating, figure skating or hockey?" and I will anwer that by saying that there is one guy that is obsessed with hockey. There is also a guy who loves hunting if you know what I meen Yoshi. Also two hockey teems( Omenica Ice and the Bears). That is all.

Dear grade fours and Mrs. Gammon. How are you? We are well.

These are some facts about my town, Vanderhoof. First, there are a lot of farms also hay farms and lots of other kinds of farms. Second, there are a lot of sports here like girls hockey, boys hockey, curling, basketball, cross country running in the spring for elementry schools and for the high school. Third, in the winter here it gets very, very cold and in the spring is gets very muddy and wet from all of the snow melting. In the summer it is very warm with some rainy days and in the fall it is quite beautiful because of the leaves on the ground and also still there are coloured leaves on the trees. Fourth, we do not have a swimming pool here but later on in the year(s) we will hopefully get a pool. Fifth, in the summer we have a fair called The Fall Fair and there is candy, pop, horse jumping, dog herding, and lots more! Also I don't know why it is called the fall fair when it is in the summer.These are some facts about my town, Vanderhoof
