Step right up to a book club with a TWIST! We are not only going to be reading a spectacular book, BUT we’re also going to be creating new endings of said book! *You may gasp here* This club will allow you to read from a writer’s point of view and see how you can apply your own style to a work of fiction. We will talk about crazy things like themes and symbolism while discussing the book we are reading. I will also introduce you to a little something called fanfiction where the readers become the writers as long as credit is given where credit is due. This club will allow students to develop their reading skills as well as their writing and their critical thinking all in a fun environment.
Chef’s kitchen workshop is aimed at introducing children and young teens to the different variables present in a kitchen professionally and at home. The sessions require an adult present in the kitchen during class time to monitor certain appliances or dangerous tools that may need to be used, such as knives, stove tops or ovens. Students will receive agreements that we will all follow as a team alongside a basics equipment guideline for each class. Weekly detailed presentations including equipment, recipes and methods for the week will be sent to parents ahead of time. For every class students are expected to have read through the specific recipe and method for that class and be prepared with all ingredients and equipment to follow along. The weeks are split between two classes, alternating between savoury and sweet dishes. This workshop aims to teach you self-confidence, teamwork and patience dealing with hands on problem solving as well as having a product to serve and enjoy with family and friends
