Don't Drive Through!
This is a peek at last year's grade three projects! After creating our own provincial flags, amazing artwork of NB landscapes and cool cardboard cars, we filmed a few hours of video and created our own music video of the song below. Thank you to Mr. Robichaud, our Tech mentor who helped us with this project! The Tourism department gave us their blessings and we are releasing it later this week! It will be posted right here soon!!

The Legislative Assembly is located in Fredericton, where our premier, the Honourable Blaine Higgs and our provincial government meet. An interesting fact is that in 1784, Colonel Thomas Carelton named the new colony Frederick's Town after King George III's second son, Frederick.
Moncton, NB
Moncton has gained the nickname the "Hub City" because of its central location and for many years Moncton has been the central railway and truck transportation centre for the Maritime provinces. Moncton was founded by the Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants in 1766. It is named after Lt. Col.Robert Monckton, a British officer who had been captured nearby in Fort Beausejour a hundred years before. Some of the tourist destinations in the photos below are located near Moncton.

Our beautiful city of Saint John, NB
Saint John was originally nurtured by its aboriginal inhabitants, the Mi’kmaq and Maliseet long before its European discovery. On a voyage in 1604, Samuel-de-Champlain named the city. (Not to be confused with St. John's, Newfoundland.) After 14,000 American British supporters, known as the Loyalists, arrived in 1783 following the American revolution, Saint John, the ‘Loyalist city’ was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1785, making it Canada’s first incorporated city.
Also referred to as ‘the Port City,’ Saint John became a leading industrial centre since the nineteenth century, predominantly due to a shipbuilding trade.The city quickly grew, with the largest influx of immigrants occurring during the Irish famine of the 1840’s, adding ‘Canada’s most Irish City’to its list of names.
