• Science

Technology

Polson School has a Maker Space and Learning Commons area. 

The technology continuum at Polson School is divided into two learning stages:

Exploratory State: students are expected to have a general exposure to, and experience with, a variety of information technologies as learning tools.

Skill Development State: students are expected to acquire specific information technology skills and knowledge in the context of core subject areas.

Music

Students at Polson participate in three music classes per six day cycle. Grade 1-5 students also participate in choir. 

Through singing, moving, and playing age-appropriate instruments music classes encourage creativity, co-operation, and development of skills. We work on developing the singing voice and rhythmic skills for the younger students expanding to recorder and basic notation skills for the older students. 

Students have several opportunities to participate in music clubs such as Orff, drumming, musical theatre, and the WSO event.

Library

Students visit the library for book exchange and library classes in topics such as research skills, information technology, author/illustrator studies, literary games, literature appreciation and current events.

Physical Education

The PE/HE foundation for implementation and safety guidelines document are used to provide a basis for the physical education program. The documents facilitate children learning through the importance of safe and fair play, (social responsibility), knowledge and demonstrations of movement skills, fitness, and healthy and active lifestyles.

Intramurals and extracurricular activities offer a wide variety of activities, which are provided on a weekly basis creating an exciting, active and positive environment at Polson School. These programs are highlighted by special events such as the tumbling rally, Turkey Trot, volleyball, basketball, soccer and the Folk Dance Festival.

Basic French

The basic French program provides instruction in the French language for students in grades 4 and 5.
