THE FIVE ‘A’S
Hosting the IESAA Soccer Tournament Athletics On May 31, students from
Grades 4 to 6 participated in the annual IESAA (Independent Elementary School Athletic Association) track and field event with several local schools. Twenty of our Junior School athletes finished in the top five for their event in their age category, including William, Grade 5, who placed first in the high jump, and Brody, Grade 6, who placed first in the 200-metre dash.
Orientation Camp Adventure
Cheese, Quackers and Brightbill Academics This spring we welcomed three ducklings to the Junior School. Over the course of a few weeks, students observed the duckling hatching cycle. They also learned important terminology, why some ducklings are not able to hatch, and how to properly handle and care for our fuzzy friends. On May 26, the students said their goodbyes as the ducklings headed off to their forever home on an egg-laying farm.
As long as we can remember, Albert College students have started each new school year at an orientation camp. Adventures at camp range from the athletic – rock climbing, kayaking, archery and more – to the artistic activities such as arts and crafts and student- led drama performances. However, the real adventure at camp is students getting out of their comfort zones and participating. Orientation camp is where students earn their first adventure points and is often the start of their journey in achieving their Adventure A Pin Awards or even their Duke of Edinburgh International Award.
Ice Cream Day Outing Adventure
Pre-Kindergarten students took an adventure walk to the main campus to enjoy the Parent Liaison Committee’s Ice Cream Day in May.
