Lego Competition & Community Connections

Our one-week Lego competition was so much fun!  Grade 10 students tried their best to include as many Gothic architectural features as possible in their buildings, so the judges had their work cut out for them as they tried to rank the winners!















The entire grade 10 class would like to thank all who supported our 1-week event that helped us celebrate learning about architecture.  A special thank you to our judges who invested so much time making decisions, and also to our community sponsors who donated lovely prizes to help encourage student learning!





There is an African proverb that states "It takes a village to raise a child".  Through the support of community members and businesses, students have been encouraged and directed to challenge their skills in school.  A sincere thank you to the organizations that donated prizes to our class competition.  We hope that, by sharing your efforts, others might stop by to see what you have to offer!

How do you think the topic was covered?  Do you think anything was missing from the discussion?  If anything was left out, what do you wish you could have contributed?  Do you have any suggestions, based on what you know about video games? Recently, the Smithsonian  had an exhibit dedicated to video games, presenting them as a new form of art.   Read the article by Naina Singh  to gain a bit more understanding of our issue. While you listen to the broadcast, be sure to jot down quotes that you think would help you defend your stance.  If you are going
