Summer programs in the news: “keeping the learning going” in Sudbury

Students engaged with the latest in technology to enhance their learning at the Sudbury Catholic District School Board’s recent summer learning program, including basic robotics, coding activities, and a computer-based reading program called Lexia that helps develop literacy skills. The group also took part in a new Lego challenge design activity.

According to The Sudbury Star, 95 students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 completed the three-week Summer Learning Program at St. Francis School, which ran from July 9 to July 27.

The students were divided into six classrooms that included a numeracy and literacy component as well as a literacy and Indigenous education session. Six classroom teachers, 12 robotics literacy tutors and eight Focus on Youth Camp counsellors provided a full educational team for the students.

To help students get energized and confident for the day’s learning, a 30-minute session of Taekwondo kicked off each morning of the program. Parents, meanwhile, were encouraged to get involved in their child’s learning through weekly coffee chats that covered topics such as tips for a successful school year and the ABCs of mental health.
