During the months of January, February, and March, grade 7 students invited Athlone grade 5 students to come and participate in a range of Destination Imagination challenges. These challenges help students build skills in the areas of collaboration, problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking. Each week, students taught each other a math game before mixing into groups and being given a Destination Imagination challenge. Activities helped students gain confidence and develop their ability to think more creatively.
The grade 7s ended off their term and put their creativity skills to the test by participating in a golf course building challenge. They had 30 minutes to design a mini-golf hole that could be built with supplies gathered around the school and given a new purpose. Then, they had 30 minutes to construct their hole, set the par, and test their part of the course. And of course, we had 30 minutes to PLAY and test each other's designs in our very own Bruce Middle School Mini-Golf course.
