Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics is right around the corner. With three days…and counting until the Opening Ceremonies, there is a flurry of Olympic research and learning happening here at the school.

We were very fortunate to have an Olympic torch bearer visit Camilla School a couple weeks ago, which in turn sparked more excitement and Canadian pride for the Vancouver games.

Teachers and students have been accessing some of the amazing educational resources available online. Here are a few Olympic sites worth visiting:
