✈️ History Comes to Life in Grade 10! 📚
Our Grade 10 history students took to the skies (of the classroom!) to explore the tactics of the Battle of Britain. They got creative, building and flying paper airplanes to better understand the strategy behind this crucial WWII campaign—the first major military effort fought entirely by air forces!
Learning by doing! Great work, historians! 👏

Our young scientists took their learning to the next level by exploring mechanical mixtures with a Halloween twist. They enhanced their understanding by experimenting with eerie projects like the Fire-Breathing Pumpkin, the mysterious Death of a Gummy Bear, and the surprising Self-Carving Pumpkin!
Learning about chemical and physical changes has never been so thrilling! 🤯
Grade 9 visual arts class painted pumpkins for local seniors, sharing their talent to make their porches more festive for Hallowe’en. 🎃
That feeling when your students get to explore the world (and beyond!) without leaving the classroom! The new LKDSB VR sets are a huge win for innovative education. 🌌Let the virtual adventures begin! 🌎
Out of the classroom and into the conservation area! 🌲 Our Grade 9 Geography classes and Ms. Lee's class spent the day at the Lorne Henderson Conservation Area for some amazing hands-on environmental education.
