Sudbury Catholic District School Board

Students of St. Benedict and St. James experiment with art and science!

Before launching into secondary school next year, students at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School and St. James had a chance to explore both art and science labs at the high school this week.

In Science, Mr. O’Donnell taught the students how to conduct themselves in a lab while dissecting a frog.The students learned safety and anatomy at the same time while the students created canvassed art with Mr. Timpano in the art room.

Students Mackenzie Richard and Brenna Vienneau weren’t shy about the dissection lab with Brenna taking the first cut. She says she is not afraid because she has cleaned deer and partridge in the past with family.

Vienneau wants to pursue sciences because she wants to become an electrician in the future.  

Students from the two schools conducted their rotations over a two day period to better prepare them for life in the high school setting.

St. James School Hosts Math Fair for Grade 4 and 5 Students!

Mrs McHugh’s grade 4-5 class hosted a “Math Fair” at St James School on May 8, 2018. Based on Todd Nesloney’s #kidsdeserveit: the gr 4-5 students chose something they’re passionate about and created a 2-3 minute presentation over at least 6 ways of how math works within that passion. Projects were displayed in the gym and featured Subway sandwiches, dirt bikes, hockey, dancing, swimming, vending machines, figure skating, video games, basketball, transportation, smoothies, fishing, baseball, rainbows and slime. Who knew that math is a big part of all those things!?! Students were very proud to share their mathematical knowledge with all their friends and our guests today. They also realized through these projects that math is a big part of everything around them. #CatholicEdWk
