So, this is our first unit as grade 10s. It is a unit about World War One, but this project and the way that we learned is a bit different than just learning abut the war itself. We based the whole project and unit around Canada’s involvement in the war. Why they joined, what was […]

So this year, we didn’t just jump into school immediately but we jumped into a field school. We went to camp Capilano, a sleep away camp in Capilano used mostly by school groups on overnights like us. We had been teased at our one day of school before the day we left that we were […]
