Amazingly, the annual Aca-

demic Fair was held in Rundle

Academy’s main Gym on Fri-

day, February 25, 2011 with a

count of 113 students. All the

Elementary kids participated in-

cluding the junior high with

some high school kids. The Aca-

demic fair is so students can

learn more about a topic they are

interested in. The topic doesn’t

have to be science related.

Everyone enjoyed the academic

fair because everyone thought it

was fun researching a topic they

found interesting. The judges

had a tough decision because all

the students did an amazing job.

But they could only pick a few

winners. In the grade four/five

category first place was Evan; in

second place was Ryan and third

place went to Oliver. Overall

Winner was Michael in grade 6,

first place went to William, sec-

ond place went to Nick, and

third place went to Amy C. They

did a fantastic job. I thought eve-

ryone did very well. The teach-

ers thought everyone did well

and so do the parents and rela-

tives.

Even though they could only

pick a few winners, all partici-

pants got a certificate for trying

their best. Sarah says “it was a

good experience doing it be-

cause I didn’t do a science fair

or something like that in my old

school.” She said she liked the

other projects too!

The Huge and Super Cool

Portable Planetarium!!!!!

Since the grade 6 students in

Rundle Academy have started learning

about sky science the teachers thought

that it would be fun for them to see a

portable planetarium. On Tuesday March

1, 2011 the awesome planetarium came.

From the TELUS World of science

James Darbano came to talk about the

planetarium. James was a wonderful

speaker. He spoke loud and clear and he

knew a lot about the sky and the stars.

He set up in the Elementary gym. The

planetarium looks like a large black ig-

loo.

“The planetarium was so cool and

so fun!!! When you look up you saw

stars and it was in the day time. James

was a very good speaker and he had a lot

of knowledge,” Emily Smith thought

about the planetarium. “I thought it was

cool because it was not cold, you could

look at the stars.” Aia Davis agreed it

was a great experience.

After James told us about the stars

he let us ask questions and Jeremy asked

“How do you know how old the sun is?”

James did not answer but I thought that

it was an interesting question! The sun,

James told us is 4 billion years old. He

also said that in 5 billion years it will

blow up so that means that the sun can

live up to 9 billion years old! He showed

us the stars that we could see in the

North Pole but in the South Pole you can

see different stars. It was so much fun

going into the planetarium. When they

are building the new science center I

hope there is one in there!!!!! If you are

interested in booking the planetarium

then contact Mrs. Moslow for de-

tails!!!!!!

This year the senior girls’ basket ball team went undefeated for the whole regular

session. Today I will interview Mr. Wolf to see why the team is doing so well. All

of your questions about the team will be answered.

Here are some of the questions that will be answered by the girls’ head coach,

Mr. Wolf.

Q: What is the reason the team is doing so well?

A: The team is doing so well is because most of the players have played on

the team before so they already had lots of experience.

Q: Who was the team’s strongest opponent to beat?

A: Their strongest appointment is Clearwater.

Q: Where is your next game?

A: The teams next game is against Clearwater Academy and is going to be

play on March 11, 2011.

According to Mr. Wolf the team will come out with a gold medal and a great

banner to hang with our many other banners. Those girls are a really great team.

The girls made it to the playoffs and will surely come out with gold if they keep

this up. Go Rockies Go. The girls made it to the playoffs and will surely come out

with gold if they keep this up.

Cold Weather Causes Indoor Recess!

The ground hog is wrong. It is still winter and around minus

twenty to thirty Celsius. The freezing weather is causing many indoor

recesses! It affects the kids and the teachers. The teachers stay inside

and have to watch the kids while the students are talking and playing in

the classrooms and in the elementary gym. The indoor recess is happen-

ing a lot and because of it, it feels like it is normal for it to happen. The

indoor recess happened throughout February and March.

Brandon said, “I like indoor recesses when it is cold outside and in an

indoor recess I usually eat and chat to neighbors.” Luckily the weather

is brightening up.

This is the book nook. Each

week I will be doing reports.

For this week the book I am do-

ing is “The Giver” by Lois

Lowry.

“The Giver” was a very good

book. I liked “The Giver” be-

cause Lois Lowry made a new

world and she made the prob-

lem very obvious at the begin-

ning of the book. Although “the

Giver” was a long book at the

end I wished there was more

because it was a cliff-hanger.

In “the Giver” the main charac-

ters are Jonas and the Giver.

The Giver gives feelings to

Jonas like snow and Christmas

because there are no feelings in

the community. There are no

rights for the people they can

only follow the rules in the

community so it is not a de-

mocracy. Jonas runs away

from the community so all the

people get their memories

back ......READ “THE GIVER”

TO FIND OUT WHAT HAP-

PENS!

The elementary students of Rundle Academy saw a movie

called “The Boathouse Detectives” on Feb. 23, 2011. It

was about kids who have a club house on the water. They

found a letter and they try to figure out who the person was

who wrote it. The six kids have a tree house on the lake

that they meet in. They want to help a girl named Anna

and her dog escape from her evil step mom and bring her to

her lovely, wonderful grandmother.

Miss Kapitza’s class rated the movie 4 stars. “It was

like they were real detectives,” said Emily Smith, in grade

6.

If you like mystery or like pop corn I would recom-

mend this move to you. You can catch the movie on the big

screen at Eau Clair Market during Film Fest.
