On Thursday, December 23, approximately 170 grades 4-8 students at Sir W. Churchill Public School will convene in the school's gymnasium to begin their gingerbread house construction. It is a cooperative effort between students, staff and volunteers. It is expected that the school will use over 1,000 graham wafers and over 126 lbs of icing sugar. When the houses are complete, the students will be evaluating their own houses, and that of a peer, on such things as stable construction, roof peak, doors, windows, candy placement, landscaping and overall appearance. The assessment and evaluation component covers Ministry expectations in terms of self evaluation, and becomes part of the students' technology mark.
Media are welcome to attend.
