Learning about mummification and preservation by creating your own sarcophagus and mummy out of a hot dog

Chess
Gr. JK/SK, Rookies Rooks, Room 106
Gr. 1-6, Kool Kings, Room 104 and 109
Chess Institute of Canada (CIC)is bringing its popular and rewarding after school chess club back to Humewood this Winter.* *All levels of chess players are welcome. Beginners will be gifted with the universal language of chess knowledge, while advanced players will be challenged and raised to new levels. While learning or expanding their chess knowledge, students also gain important values and life skills such as goal setting, creative analysis, resilience, respect for others, and responsibility for decisions. These skills are gained through our approach to chess as a *mental martial art*, where choosing a move means: taking wise, calculated risks, dealing with unexpected and disappointing outcomes, reflecting critically on changing situations, looking deeper to find more viable options than may at first appear, valuing diverse abilities and skill sets, and realizing there are choices in every situation. As this strong, respectful and resilient mindset is nourished, players will have *a lot of fun* with our experienced and engaging instructors, who will appeal to and elevate their natural abilities. Chess is an amazing activity for children of all ages, where focus and skills are gained with surprising speed.
Fee: $91.00 per child.
Please pick up students from the Grade School, outside North East door labeled number 5.
