Our after-school basketball camp is well under way and the kids are really enjoying it and learning some foundational basketball skills.

Mrs. Syson's Grade 6 science class had a guest speaker come to her class on Thursday. Mr. Dale Brown teaches welding at Wm. E Hay Secondary Campus and he is also an experienced pilot. Mr. Brown brought in a model airplane to show the kids and talk about the functions of a plane and show in more detail about how and what makes a plane fly. He also brought some videos to show planes in flight as well as how planes are made. Air and aerodynamics is a topic covered in the Grade 6 science curriculum. The students enjoyed having Mr. Brown visit their room.
