The move from Elementary School to Middle School can be a daunting proposition. Last week, to help with that transition, our Grade 5 students spent the morning getting a sense of what to expect in Middle School next year. After learning about the international exchanges and languages offered, older students shared information about the Outdoor Education trips and then guided the younger students through water filtering, stove lighting, and tent set up exercises. To make it even more fun, the students had to use orientation skills to navigate from station to station, a skill that our Middle School students learn in PE. The morning was wrapped up with a messy but fun science experiment on the effects of ingredients on elasticity of silly putty.
From the feedback from the kids, they had a great time and are looking forward to Middle School next year!
