Kindergarten Class at African Stages!

Last Thursday, the Kindergarten class had a wonderful time watching the performance, African Stages, at the Dance Centre downtown. There was drumming and singing, dancing and acting! The performers told a story about a girl in an African village that went to live in the city.

The class learned that there are many ways that people express themselves through the arts! And now they are exploring how to express themselves through movement, dance, music, art and drama! Stay tuned for our “expressions”!

Indoor Soccer

A select group of Brockton students, in grades 5-7, lost a heart breaking indoor soccer game 6-4 to LGCA on Tuesday. Brockton students played well and did a wonderful job of representing the school. It was a close game right up till the end with our team pressing very hard to get the equalizing goals. We came close on a number of occasions with Evan hitting the crossbar after beating the keeper. All Brockton students played very well, but two students in particular stood out, Dante and Seung. The Lionsgate staff even commented on their energetic and skilled play. Well done team.

Grade Three's at Science World

The grade 3's went to Science World yesterday to complete our unit on Structures. In a workshop, they had the chance to build a demi-geodesic dome together. They also got to explore the Eureka and Bodyworks galleries.

"My favourite part was making the geodesic dome." Zachary
"I liked the drop with the lights made by mirrors." Amy
"I liked it all!" Katharine"
"I liked the water stream where I made a dam." Flynn

Grade Two’s Adventure

Yesterday, the grade 2 students practiced being true IB students on their tour through Chinatown and visit to the Vancouver Police Museum. They followed a map to find some interesting places in an incredibly remarkable community. We started at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen’s Classical Chinese Garden, then found some people practicing Tai Chi, followed by the Han Dynasty Bell, the Millennium Gate, Winds of Change Mural, the worlds narrowest building (the Sam Kee building is only 6 feet wide!), the Memorial Monument for the Canadian Chinese people who died in WWII, and finally we ended at the plaza in the Floata Seafood Restaurant. The students were true risk takers, trying many different Dim Sum dishes and of course attempting to use chop sticks! They were open-minded and very principled on the street, in the restaurant and at the Police Academy. They were complimented by several for being the most well behaved students they had ever seen. Well done, grade 2.
