MARCH 4, 2022 -- Students at The Crescents School have been keeping active and warm during the cold days of winter.

Vice-Principal Mark Wilson has provided numerous Practical and Applied Arts activities for students. Grades 7/8 students experimented with programming various robots, and the Structured Learning Classroom followed a recipe to make biscuits. Yum!

MARCH 3, 2022 -- On January 28, 2022, Grade 5 students at Plainsview School had an opportunity to experience Outdoor Education right in their own backyard!

Students learned alongside John from the Outdoor Environmental Education department and heard all about life in the North. Students helped create and light a Qulliq, which is a type of oil lamp traditionally used by Arctic peoples. While outside, students also played various Inuit games, including some favourites such as Leg Wrestle, High Kick and Hoot Hoot.

Thank you to the Outdoor Education staff for this exciting opportunity!

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 -- The Grades 3/4 class at Ruth Pawson School was so excited to listen to and learn from two Indigenous storytellers this month. February is Indigenous Storytelling Month!

Both Rhonda Donais and Hazel Dixon are wonderful storytellers who kept the students engaged and questioning. Students continue to talk about the stories that they heard and connect them to their own lives. It was such a great experience for the students to have, and being able to do it over Zoom helped more schools take advantage of this important opportunity.
