The Grade 6 Science Fair on March 11th was a day of celebration and the end of a long journey.

In November, the girls started to think about what interesting question they might like to investigate. Research proposals were written in December, and in January, the experimentation phase of the project began. Weeks later, after completing the analysis of the results, editing written work, and organizing the display poster, the girls were ready to share their discoveries with students, teachers and parents.

Science Fair projects develop many skills that can be applied to any subject or grade. There are always hurdles in any large project, and the Grade 6 girls are to be congratulated for their perseverance, and for promoting Science at York House School. Many thanks to the families for supporting their daughter during this journey.

Junior Fun-a-Rama!

The Grade 3-7s took to the gym on Monday afternoon for Junior Fun-a-Rama. The house games were organized by the house captains and it is clear they put a lot of thought and creativity into the games. The Mat Race was clearly a favourite, but the most challenging game was having to suck up a piece of paper (a puzzle piece) with a straw and bring it back to your house. Once all the pieces were collected, the girls had a race to solve the puzzle.

Once the final numbers were in, Iroquois came out on top with 96 points, followed closely by Algonquin (95), Nootka (94) and Huron (92).
