Students Participate in Skills Ontario Challenge

St. David’s grade 2/3 and 3/4 classes were eager this February to participate in the Skills Ontario challenge of building a snow structure outside. Students were able to show their teamwork and creativity by sketching out what they wanted their end product to look like outside and submit to Skill Ontario through Twitter to win a prize. The grade 2/3 class built our school mascot, The Snow Dragon and were able to work together on each intricate part, knowing their role in the making. The grade 3 class designed structural blueprints to build their strong and stable structures which resulted in a snow fort. Their experiential learning was taken to a whole new level, using different construction techniques and the natural environment around them. Needless to say our little dragons become “snow” engineers for the day!
