]]> On Thursday, May 4th the Grade 4 and 5 students from Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Holloway’s classes went to the Pomeroy Sports Centre and participated in XploreFest. The afternoon was geared towards inspiring students about future career options. There were a lot of hands-on experiences for students, where they could create a project or complete a task. They had a blast exploring all of the options, and enjoyed being able to try what worked best for them!

]]> Bert Ambrose students participated in our annual Student Conference on March 18. Our day started off with 7 players from the FSJ Huskies joining us for a Q&A session and staying to participate in some of the activities in the gym. We also had support from the Indigenous Education Centre as Roberta Chouinard and Diane Barclay joined us for Metis Pointillism. A special thank you to Laurie Thomson, Erin Stewart, and Sylvie Marti for joining us to help with cooking and card making activities. We appreciate your support for our special day. Students were able to participate in either 3 single sessions (Metis Pointillism, Rock Painting, Gardening, Marble Maze, Kite Making, Comics, Stop Motion, Gym Games, Makey-Makey, Paper Planes, Bowling, Nature Walk, Cooking, Card Making, Felting, and Puppets) or a full-day session (Vision Boards). As you will note from the photos, a great day was had by all. A huge thank you to the staff for all of the time and energy that went into planning and executing these sessions. It was wonderful to see the cooperation in the multi-grade sessions and hear laughter and excitement throughout the day.  It was a very successful way to transition to Spring Break.

]]> “This spring, the Grade 3/4 cohort at Bert Ambrose designed and built computer interfaces in an 8-week project titled “Designing with People in Mind.” Students were challenged to build a computer interface, in most cases a video-game controller, for a person with a specific physical impairment. Students developed their critical and imaginative thinking to plan, design and build. All of the students left the experience with a more robust and active understanding of how electrical circuits work in conjunction with computer code.

The 8 ADST sessions for this project were coupled with 8 growth mindset lessons to nurture student resilience. While it was great to see students succeed early in the project, many of the most rewarding learning experiences were won by students who triumphed after working through multiple setbacks.”
