Netivot HaTorah

The Grade 6 Bat Mitzvah class marked a year of learning with a special performance of the story of Chana, bringing Tanach to life through creativity, teamwork and achdut.

Thank you to Mrs. Diamond for her dedication and for helping each student shine!

This year’s Yom Ruach winners are the Red Team! 🏆❤️ Our Middle School students enjoyed an action-packed day of teamwork, school spirit, and friendly competition. Divided into Red and Blue teams, students participated in soccer, dodgeball, capture the flag, track and field events, Chidon, and a Yediot Klaliyot challenge. Kol Hakavod to our students for their tremendous ruach, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship, and thank you to our teachers and staff for organizing this special day!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream🍦(and slushies)!

Thank you to the Rosenberg, Frisch, and Recht families for sponsoring this year’s Shavuot ice cream truck in loving memory of their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Malka Rosenberg z”l.

Chag Sameach! 💐

Our 9th annual Snuggle Up & Read was a wonderful celebration of literacy at Gan Netivot! 📚✨In honour of Yom Yerushalayim, families explored an Israeli-themed “Shuk” filled with hands-on activities, cozy reading, and student showcases. We were also thrilled to hear from Israeli children’s author Rachel Raz, who read Colours of Israel via Zoom. We ended the evening with bedtime songs, Shema, and a nighttime snack to go of Shoko B’Sakit & Aleph Bet cookies!

Thank you to our amazing staff for all their hard work in putting this together and to our Netivot families for joining us for this special evening. 💙🇮🇱

Kol Hakavod to our Grade 5 students on their Mesibat Siyum of Sefer Shemot! Together with their parents, the students celebrated this special milestone by sharing Divrei Torah, hearing words of chizuk from Rabbi Kadoch and Rabbi Gemara, showcasing their Chumash art projects (thank you, Mrs. Diamond!), and participating in an exciting Chumash escape room.

A heartfelt thank you to Morah Ofra, Morah Orit, and Mrs. Soroka for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to our students’ growth and learning!

Creativity, collaboration and curiosity were on full display at our annual STEAM Night! Parents and students teamed up to explore hands-on activities that made learning engaging and fun. From creating stop-motion movies to designing Jitterbugs, balloon helicopters, and more, there was something for everyone to enjoy. A huge thank you to our incredible staff and school community for helping make this year’s STEAM Night such a memorable success!

Our Grade 7 students put their engineering skills to the test in a hands-on Bridge Building Challenge! Using popsicle sticks, twine, wire, and glue, they built lightweight bridges designed to hold maximum weight. After planning and teamwork, the excitement peaked during testing as each bridge was pushed to its limit resulting in plenty of learning, creativity, and a few cracking results!

This week our JK students are learning all about the letters J and Y through different letter themed centres. They also began exploring the beloved story “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and created their own caterpillars using the letters in their names, built caterpillars with links, and practiced their fine motor skills by lacing the foods from the story onto a string. Our students had so much fun bringing their learning to life in a creative, hands-on way!
