This morning, a number of special guests, and representatives from CTV Barrie, The Orillia Packet and Times and Orillia Today, descended on Rama Central P.S. to help us celebrate our second place finish in the LSF/RBC Our Canada Project competition.

Our award assembly was hosted by two Grade 8 students and our principal, Mrs. Lefuel.

Within their Science program, Grade 5 students study "forces acting on structures." This Science unit includes reading and video viewing, hands-on building, the writing of lab. reports explaining the model building process, and a unit test.

This blog post showcases groups of students building model bridges, towers, roller coasters or strength bridges, with agreed upon materials and (in the case of strength bridges) agreed upon bridge spans.

The strength bridge competition yielded some impressive results!

This bridge was strong enough to hold a Grade 5 boy!

Rama Central P.S. has one of the largest, most diverse schoolyards in the county. We are also fortunate enough to own several sets of cross country skis and snowshoes, and students are welcome to keep Krazy Karpets at school for the winter.

Yesterday and today, our class hit the slopes in our schoolyard, for some good old-fashioned winter fun. Gym class doesn't get much better than this!
