Afterschool program at the Canadian Bilingual School

Throughout the seasons, children are introduced to a variety of age-appropriate sports activities: floor gymnastics, motor skills circuits, balance games, dance, mini-fitness, ball games, and coordination exercises. Each cycle focuses on a specific theme (flexibility, strength, endurance, agility) to progressively and playfully develop physical abilities. The workshop also encourages cooperation, listening skills, and respect for rules through group games and adapted challenges.

In this unique program, we start each session by reading a delightful storybook together. We discuss the characters, plot, and themes to deepen the children's understanding and spark their imagination.

Next, we bring the story to life using LEGO bricks. Children will recreate scenes and characters from the book, using their creativity to build detailed LEGO models. But the fun doesn't stop there! Once the original story is constructed, the children are encouraged to invent and build the next episode, continuing the narrative with their own creative twists and turns.

This hands-on workshop fosters storytelling skills, collaborative play, and fine motor development while providing a fun and interactive way to explore literature and imagination through LEGO building.

Speak. Write. Perform

A bold and creative afterschool workshop where students explore storytelling, poetry, slam, creative writing, and self-expression through fun writing prompts, games, spoken word, and performance.

Students build confidence, creativity, vocabulary, communication, and public speaking skills while learning to express ideas, emotions, and stories in their own unique voice.

Perfect for children who love to imagine, write, speak up — or simply discover the power of words.

A filmmaking workshop designed for 2 levels of learners.

Beginners discover the foundations of filmmaking through storytelling, scriptwriting, cinematography, acting, and editing while creating their first audiovisual projects in a fun, hands-on environment.

Returning students benefit from an accelerated learning path with a deeper focus on directing, camera techniques, editing, visual storytelling, special effects, and collaborative film production. Through practical projects, students strengthen both technical skills and creativity while bringing their ideas to life on screen.
