Souris Consolidated School

I'm so excited to take you on a virtual tour of my school, here in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I have decided to have my grade seven students help me out in writing this post and so the rest of this post is directly from them! Take it away, 7B!


This is what the outside of our school looks like. We hang out here in the morning and at first break.





We have an IT and Computer Lab. Although most of our computers work, we sometimes have technical difficulty with others (which can be frustrating). We go to the computer lab at least twice a week.


When we look out the window, we see Souris Regional High School. It will be the future school for us. It will be renovated for K-12 and we should be in the new school by 2014. It is where the grades 8-12 currently go to school . Grade seven has Equity (which is Band, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts) there. We do not have an intermediate school in Souris. Souris Consolidated includes grades K-7.





This is our play area. To the left is our tennis court. There we play tennis, basketball, and ball hockey! Grades K-4 go out for recess at about 11:30 and 1:30 for breaks. Grades 5-7 go outside at 10:05 and 12:00 for our outdoor breaks.







These are our soccer fields. Grade 6 and 7 use these. We sometimes play Grade 7A versus 7B. 7B usually wins!












This is our gym. It's a pretty good size. All of the classes (K-7) use the gym and we actually do a lot of things in the gym like after school activities (Badminton, Inter murals, Assemblies).










Here's the lobby. We come through here on our way to class after recess and our lunch break. At the moment we currently have over 340 students.







This is the library used by all classes at least once in a six day cycle. We have a librarian, and fiction and non-fiction sections.














 This is our grade 7 class. The average class in our school has 15 to 20 students each. We have lots of informative posters in our class also we have two surprisingly comfy plastic chairs (special chairs) in the back.



So that's a look inside the school where I am blessed enough to teach. Thanks so much grade seven for putting this post together. You did a great job!
