School’s in… students enjoy summer camps

School may be out for the summer, but the learning is continuing for close to 150 students in Grades 1, 2 and 3 in Rainbow Schools. They are participating in summer camps being offered at Lansdowne Public School and Little Current Public School from July 7th to 25th, 2014. 

“The summer camps support children by maintaining and increasing their learning in literacy and numeracy while engaging them in fun activities,” says Rainbow District School Board Director of Education Norm Blaseg.  “Children enjoy a balanced day of academics and recreation under the guidance of qualified teachers. There is also a focus on Aboriginal culture.”

Students not only learn reading, writing and mathematics, they also take part in daily physical activities, play interactive games, go on field trips and meet interesting visitors from the community.

This is the fourth year in which Rainbow District School Board has offered learning camps during the summer to support and supplement student achievement in the primary grades.
