In celebration of the Winter Olympics in Milan, students and staff at Lambton Park Community School hosted their own mini Olympics. The event featured interactive winter sport stations such as curling, magnetic ice fishing, skiing, and more!
A group of children sit and work on crafts at a table inside a school hallway decorated for an Olympic-themed event. Two children lean over a white cardboard box with a circular opening in the top, using wooden sticks with strings attached as part of a hands‑on activity. Children stand in a school gym participating in an activity using floor scooters shaped like skis and holding foam hockey sticks. Bright orange cones and blue mats form an obstacle course across the gym floor. A child wearing a red “Canada” winter hat and matching red shirt stands at a table where several other children are seated, drawing and colouring with markers and crayons.
