The #WOTP cooking program has been well under way since September! Students have enjoyed being in the kitchen about 3-4 hours a week. They are working on different skills which include teamwork, patience, creativity, leadership, kitchen safety, reading for understanding and mathematical problem solving. They are encouraged to be open to trying new flavors, different kinds of food, spices, and of course fruits/veggies. ... Oh, and thank you Ms. Desmond for donating the turkey for our festive dinner. From our table to yours, happy holidays!

On this last day before the holidays we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support during this extraordinary and unprecedented year. A reminder that the school will be closed until January 8, 2021 but online learning will begin again in January 4, 2021 for all students. The entire staff at #BA wishes you all a relaxing, , healthy and happy holidays. We will see you in the new year. ... Stay safe!

Recently, a diorama project was part of a grade 8 geography unit on Indigenous peoples. Groups spent about 2 weeks working on it. After learning about Quebec's different Indigenous groups, students picked one group to focus on. They had to create a diorama depicting their Indigenous group's natural environment, as well as a fact sheet with information about the group's traditional lifestyle in this environment. Projects culminated with students "interviewing" all of their classmates about their projects, as well as presenting their dioramas to several adults in the building during a gallery walk this past Friday. Congratulations to everyone involved!

This fall, our #BA’s #WOTP students were challenged with the question of "What makes the best chocolate chip cookie?" Through a lot of research and then practice, students took part in a cookie baking competition which cumulated in a presentation of their research, their reasoning and their final masterpiece to a panel of judges. A winner was declared, but the competitive spirit is still high. Stay tuned for a different competition in the new year! Amazing work by all involved!

In Grade 8 History, students recently completed a unit on the Renaissance that focused on Leonardo DaVinci’s inventions. Students were tasked with researching one of his inventions, create something inspired by it and then present it to the class. #BA
