Acting on information received
in an Ongoing investigation police
searched a home, recovered stolen
property and arrested an unidenti-
fied Saanichton man, Jan. 19:

in unique Mi. heviont program

A social studies program look-
ing to the future looked to the past
as well, during Medieval Day at
Mount Newton Middle School,
Thursday.

And actually, the Grade 8 stu-
dents spent a lot of time engrossed

in worlds of yore preparing for the
day, too.

“We started planning for the
new school, and we started plan-

ning for the kinds of programs we~-
said

re)

can expect-in the future,
teacher Robyn Evans.

The future will hold more inte-:
grated classes — classes with two
or more subjects combined.

So the idea of bringing social
studies and English studies
together in one program “really
began to twig.”

Evans, Susan Bruce and French
immersion teacher Jennifer Green-
wood, with the help and support of
other teachers in the school, went
to work.

Last spring, the teachers started
researching their idea, basing their
program largely on a medieval-set
novel.

Before Christmas, the students
were brought into the act.

Students went to work on vari-
ous projects. Some did skits on
Medieval Day, others built models
of castles.

Rooms were transformed —
Evans’ became a castle, Bruce’s a
cathedral.

About 90 per cent of the Grade
8 came to school Thursday dressed
according to the roles they’d
pulled from a hat.

In the evening, Society for Crea-
tive Anachronism members and
the parents joined the student par-
ticipants.

And students of Civilization 12
at Stelly’s Secondary also attend-

-ed, as part of their course.

Greenwood said the students
learned to organize themselves and
their material. Teachers noticed “it
was Teally them doing it for them-
selves instead of us doing it for
them,” Greenwood said:

And many students who don’t
do well in the regular curriculum,
“really got into this in a big way,”
Bruce said.

About 250 students in the Grade
8 socials program are part of the
integrated class.
