Academy hits mid point

After a wonderful first term, Vanier's Hockey Academy is in full stride. Next on our agenda is another round of on and off-ice fitness/skills testing. Our Coaching Kids Club is on for this coming Friday at 6:30am. The Comox Fire Training Center is also happy to have us return to learn some valuable skills. We have been working on our focus and Yoga seems to be challenging the kids both physically and mentally.
It was nice to see some games this weekend. I was able to get out and watch some exciting hockey. The Bantam AAA team won a tough battle on Sun. afternoon. Matteo Giomo scored a beauty. Meanwhile, the Midget house teams were working hard and having fun.

Rome under attack!

After visiting Ancient Rome, students will continue with their research and design a poster that warns citizens about impending doom. From Barbarian attacks to food shortages, the end is almost near. With a partner, students will have two days to design an advertisement warning people about the collapse. We will then explore many of Ancient Rome's achievements before preparing for a Unit test.
