Black Student Alliance to Escape Room
Our Black Students Alliance group recently participated in
an Escape Room adventure centered around an intergalactic space alien. This
activity was created to support our team building and collaboration skills
through a series of challenging puzzles. Throughout the experience, we learned
the importance of working together to achieve our common goal and avoid getting
lost along the way. It reinforced the idea that teamwork makes the dream work.
(Claudio, Shalvi, Santina, Dylan, Saranya, Serenity, Jasmine, and Amira)
This was a perfect team bonding activity for all of us.
Hands On Exotic
Our classes partnered together for a visit from Hands On
Exotic where our students got to meet and interact with different animals.
Yoga Club
Some of our grade 3-6 students have been learning about and
practicing Yoga with Ms. Carlucci at lunchtime. They have been learning about
the mind-body connection and how to calm ourselves using our breath, mind, and
body. These students have been showing maturity, respect and enthusiasm for
what the practice of Yoga has to offer!
Grade 4/5s Visit Jazz FM
Our grades 4 and 5 class had a fantastic time on our trip to
Jazz FM. During our visit, we were given an informative tour of the station
where they explained the process of how radio broadcasts are transmitted. We
also had the opportunity to explore some of the audio equipment and learned
about how it all works. The highlight of the trip was a short music workshop
where we got to play the Ukulele. It was an enjoyable and educational musical
experience for everyone! Ms. Brown's Grades 4 and 5 class!
Fire Safety Presentations
Josephine from Fire Services came and spoke with our classes
about Fire Safety. They will be back on Monday to share with more classes.
