Tu B’ShevatOn Wednesday, our Grade 1 and 2 students came together to celebrate Tu B’Shevat, the New Year for Trees! It was a wonderful day of learning, discovery, and appreciation for nature. The children enjoyed listening to stories about trees, learning how they grow and why they are so important. They also got their hands dirty planting seeds, a perfect way to connect with the holiday’s theme of renewal and growth. We thank Moreh Liad from SK for teaching us about planting and bringing us so many seeds to plant....

Innovation Day 2025 ReflectionMy build for Innovation Day was a hockey drying rack, and not just a drying rack but one with more additions to have a twist to the normal selling product. What I did differently was add a pulley for the jersey and add wheels to make the rack transportable and fans to speed up the drying process. My feelings before innovation day was me feeling a little nervous but I knew I would get through it and do well, once I finished presenting a few times, the nerves kind of went away and I did well. As expected, Nothing surprised me from the process, it was the same as in past years. It took a lot of in-class work for me.. To finish the build. The fact I changed builds halfway through gave me less time, but I fully succeeded on innovation day....

My Innovation Day ReflectionHello my name is Sadie and today I will be reflecting on my innovation day project. One thing that I loved was our bord it was so cute and really embodied the astatic of the Hedgehog. I do wish we had more time so we could add more information but I think we did an awesome job. Even though we didn't place we still marked pretty high and it was an awesome learning experience and I cant wait for next year.

Innovation day 2025For innovation day we were tasked with making or improving an invention while utilizing simple machines. had recently started having a lot of fainting issues, I was in and out of consciousness the whole project, and that made it really challenging. To overcome this I worked a lot from home and did a lot of the online parts of the project. We definitely needed work on our script and should have practiced a lot more. We might have been able to make an actual product and model if we had more funding and time, but unfortunately we did not. I felt really exited at the start of the project, but when I started having the fainting issues I got way more nervous and stressed. But we did it anyway!...

Grade 8 Mishkan Project - RabbinicsHello Grade 8 students and families. We have been learning about the laws of Shabbat in Rabbinics class. We have learned how the restrictions on Shabbat come from the 39 actions used to build and transport the Mishkan (Tabernacle) in the desert. We will now be working on a project to reflect our learning on Shabbat. For this project, students will work in small groups to create a model mishkan, as well as exploring sources from the Torah and Mishnah about Shabbat. Models can be created with a physical model or with a 3D model created online....

February is Black History MonthGrade 5 students had the opportunity to learn from their Grade 7 peers as part of a three-part lesson series in honour of Black History Month.

They also learned about key historical figures whose courage and advocacy played a vital role in challenging segregation and racism in the United States. Grade 5 students reviewed a timeline of significant historical events, then engaged in thoughtful reflection, discussing the lessons they took away and the questions that arose from their learning....

Science and Tech MuseumThis week we went to the Science and Technology Museum. I have already been to this museum before. In fact, I used to go there every weekend with my mom when I was little. My favorite part of the visit was the racing challenge. Mischa, Asher, Maya, and I worked together to complete the challenges and did so in three seconds. We also completed a pulley and gear workshop. We got to build a pulley and I was able to pull the fourth pulley. We used a dynamometer to measure the pressure we were pulling to lift the brick. Overall, I enjoyed visiting the museum....
