We asked our principal, Ms. Pauline, what are her 5 favourite things about each specialty program at CGNS. Here’s what she had to say:
Sportball
1. Coach Sharon!
2. The strategies used to teach sports, such as tennis, to young children.
3. How all sports are introduced in a fun and non-intimidating way.
4. The variety of sports taught.
5. The “Yes We Can!” attitude from the children.
Drama
1. The teacher Ms. Sophia.
2. How the same drama adventure can take a different path based on the different groups of children.
3. Watching shy children become more confident in their ability to perform.
4. Imaginations being used to their full potential.
5. The highlight is always our two performances each year.
Dance/Yoga
1. The variety of dance styles that the children are exposed to.
2. The children learn choreography, and then a video at the end of each month is sent home to show their final performance.
3. Showing children how music and dance can go together.
4. Celebrating all free style dance moves.
5. Instilling a love for dance that may continue long after CGNS.
