Our school’s Terry Fox Run will be held this Thursday. Over the last couple of weeks, our class has been talking a lot about Terry Fox – what we already knew about him and what we would like to find out. We talked about what the difference was between a superhero and a real hero and what qualities heroes possess.

We also looked at the South African athlete, Oscar Pistorius, who this summer, became the first double leg amputee to participate in the Olympics. The students were amazed at the advancements in technology when they compared Oscar’s prosthetic legs today to Terry’s from the 1980’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I invite you to participate in our class discussion:

What qualities make someone a hero?

Do you know of any heroes in our community?

What is your goal this school year?
