Rocks and Rings

This week have Coach Jodie, from Rocks & Rings with us to teach us about the Canadian sport of curling.  Students have learned curling terminology and are practicing sweeping and throwing.  They are also learning that curlers use science and math when playing, as they calculate angles and use friction to help the rocks slide farther on the ice.  Here are a few pictures of our first two days.

                  Have your child(ren) tell you which team scored and how many points were scored.

                                           Ask your child what the following terms mean:

• house
• hammer
• rock
• broom
• button

                                       Ask your child about why a broom is used in curling.
