Grandparents and Special Friends Day

This cherished, fun-filled tradition, Grandparents and Special Friends Day happend on Thursday. Students in all divisions were joined by some of their favorite people!

Pictured: A Grade 6 science class modeled how rocks (Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous) are formed (using Starburst candies). This helped them understand the rock cycle. 

The Value of Practice

Before you see the end result: the terrific-sounding concert, the fabulous sports play in the gym…there is a great deal of effort leading up to that moment. Harley students understand the value of the process is even more important than the end result.

A Fresh Invitation

Grade 3 students are hard at work on their garlic empire unit, Harlic Garlic. (See a video about the project here.) They plan, design, and operate a garlic farming business as part of the Harley microfarm. Quite impressive!

Pcitured: The largest garlic ever grown at Harley!

Speaking of Practice

Nursery and Primary classes have been working on striking and volleying skills this week in PE. Perhaps this is how some our current Girls’ Varsity Volleyball team (undefeated, division champs!) got started…

This unit helps students build competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns. It also teaches how to differentiate between strong and light force. Go future Wolves!
