Dress as your teacher day ⁦@RVMiddle⁩ #timbertopadventures

RVMS students are back at it this year with scroll saw work, mats for homeless and 4 stroke engine maintenance .#asds #nbed #newbrunswickcanada #carpentry #engineering

Watercolour on canvas @RVMiddle #enrichment #art #creativity

Bridge and tower design, build and testing wraps up in the next 2 weeks @RVMiddle #Engineering #CivilEngineering #asds #NewBrunswick

Enrichment trips continue @RVMiddle as students went to Photography Flewelling for a studio tour and portrait workshop then Spicer Merrifield Gallery to check out local artists #finearts #photograghy #art

Here’s a little coverage on the sleeping mats made for those struggling by Middle School Students @RVMiddle Information Morning - Saint John with Julia Wright - May 30, 2023: Students weave mats for people sleeping rough

What do you do at River Valley?

A few more Right Whale projects on their way home with students @RVMiddle

Recycled Bay of Fundy fishing rope collected weekly, washed, unknotted and hand weaved into 6’ x 3’ sleeping mats for the less fortunate in the Saint John area. All grade 8’s @RVMiddle will participate in making 30 of these mats. Thanks to @BrentAnderson10 for the weaving lesson.

For the last time this school year student mentors turned the ovens off. Twice a week these rockstars fed 330 students pizza made from scratch for a dollar a slice. @RVMiddle #chefs #entrepreneurs #lifeskills @ASD_South @Gov_NB #education

Hanging out @brilliant_labs Maker Faire @AsdsInnovation @ASD_South today. Next year…geo-thermal greenhouse, recycle fishing net into carpets and build motorized go-carts @sigurdvincent @RVMiddle #Engineering #carpentry #photography #coding

Enough computer and phone screens…time to learn about hybrid and electric propulsion system maintenance. Students learned how to check fluids and the importance of oil viscosity. Next week they change tires. #asds @sigurdvincent @RVMSRaiders #Engineering #Independent #mechanics

⁦@RVMiddle⁩ “Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why.” 21 students in class all engaged…nothing to do with the teacher, projects just need to challenge their creativity #stem #engineering #asds #nbed #carpentry #education #empower #creativity

Another week @Rvmiddle Bridges and towers were tested, bowls made outta downed trees and multiple charcuterie and cutting boards went home with students. Next week is natural light photography and Lightroom #asds #nbed #STEM #woodworking #careers #Engineering #chef #photography

More on the week @Rvmiddle Kids practiced making scratch meals. Bridges testing yielded at new record of 145 lbs without any stress fractures. Students lamented wood scraps to turn beautiful bees waxed rubbed bowls #asds #nbed #STEM #woodworking #careers #Engineering #chef

Productive week @Rvmiddle kids have their 4 wheel drive Mars Rover electric vehicles chassis’s built and have began to program them to record temperatures, seismic activity, navigate and take soil samples for the Mars competition next month #asds #nbed #brilliantlabs #nasa #STEM

Another week of designing towers, bridges, restoring antiques and turning burl. High Schools will be very happy to see these grade 8’s next year #sjhs #stm #hvhs @sigurdvincent @RVMiddle #asds #nbed

Grade 8’s presenting to the grade 6 & 7’s a car’s propulsion system with 4,6, 8 cylinders and demonstrating how to gap and torque a spark plug into the head. Next week electric propulsion systems in cars. @RVMiddle @sigurdvincent #mechanics #automotive #Engineering #mentorship

Another week in the books @RVMSRaiders students made pizza/cookie dough. Designed, drafted, built and tested towers/bridges. Charcuterie boards/hardwood bowls made from locally fallen trees. Shelves, paper towel holders from left over scrap wood. #Sustainability #carpentry #asds
