WEEK IN REVIEW:


This week Nellie McClung brought in  Netball Alberta for a phys. Ed. residency. Netball is a ball sport played on a rectangular court by two teams of seven players. The primary objective is to shoot a ball through the defender's goal ring while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own. Netball differs in many ways from basketball, principally in the absence of the backboards from the hoop or goal ring and the prohibition of dribbling, bouncing, and running while in possession of the ball. See photos in the Weekly Pics link below!

Grade 6s took part in the Ready, Set, robot... Computer Science programs from Telus Spark Science Centre. This 4 day workshop introduced students to computer science, coding, technology, and robotics – no coding experience required! This residency provided insights to the foundation of code through a variety of hands-on activities, helping to inspire and connect students to the innovative world of technology. See photos of the robots students created in the Weekly Pics link below!
