From December 4th to 7th, the Grade Seven class were guests of the Peterborough Golf & Country Club.

We learned how to curl!

Starting with an hour long introduction and orientation to the sport in class, we spent an hour a day immersed in the long and storied history of the Scottish sport of curling. Under the excellent leadership of David Looyen (PGCC's General Manager), Susan Clark and Aaron MacDonald, the students experienced the game in its many facets.

The week of skills practice culminated in two days of intense competition. Even though we learned that curling requires warm clothing, good balance and a great deal of patience, we had an excellent time. Most students had not really had any exposure to the sport and all were impressed by just how difficult it is to be a good curler.

Thanks to David, Susan and Aaron for their patience and to
Peterborough Golf & Country Club for providing this unique and
outstanding learning opportunity to us! What a blast!
