Backgammon at Bayview Fairways

Many of our students have joined the backgammon club at lunch recess. The students are learning how to play this board game which helps to sharpen math skills.  The students are having a great time.  The students get a chance to play with different partners. The club takes place every Tuesday at lunch.

Making Movies at Bayview Fairways

Many of our students our working on creating movies, for media literacy.  One such example consists of the students in the junior grades using the ipad to add in interesting backdrops against a green screen.  In this picture, you can see the green screen on the wall of the classroom and some students working at the computer to create their movie. 

We are planning to create a green screen space in our new Learning Commons so that all classrooms can use these exciting programs to create movies.

Green Screen apps technology allows students to superimpose themselves into many different backgrounds, so students can appear to be walking on the moon or they can appear in their favourite movie.

Year Book

The Yearbook Club has begun at Bayview Fairways P.S. and our intermediate students are hard at work designing and laying out the yearbook. The yearbook will include pictures and events to represent ALL grades. 

More information will be forthcoming on how to purchase a yearbook, so that all the students can have lasting memories of this year, 2015 - 2016.
