Activities
The January Calendar is now up to date! See hudsonpac.ca/calendar/
Due to the shortness of term 2, many activities started the first week back. We do have some activities that will be starting in Week 2.
There’s still space to register in most activities, so if there’s something you’d like to sign up for, go for it. You can find more info at https://hudsonpac.ca/activities/
Last term, we had some challenges with the lack of the lunchroom and getting kids to their lunchtime programmes. We’re working on some strategies to improve that this term.
- **New for K-1’s** Sportball, Tuesday 3:05-4:05
- Ocean Explorers, Wednesdays 3:15-4:15
- Lego Lunch time, Thursdays 12:25
- Pop Thoughts (Formerly Chi Kids & taught by same instructor), Thursdays 3:05-4:00
Lego lunch time is struggling for students this term and may be cancelled if we don’t get more sign ups. It’s a wonderful programme & here’s the scoop.
Bricks4Kidz is running LEGO Lunch Club at Henry Hudson every Thursday, January 18 to March 15 from 12:25 pm – 1 pm.
Bricks 4 Kidz™ STEM enrichment programs combine inquiry-based learning with hands-on building fun! Our interactive lessons and custom project builds introduce children to the dynamic fields of engineering and architecture using traditional bricks, technic LEGO®, and power functions. Concepts of design, scale, force, friction and gear ratio come alive! Imagination and critical thinking are encouraged as kids are challenged to modify pieces and test outcomes to further expand their learning.
We’re developing a brand new curriculum on the go this term!
Classes are $68/9 Sessions.

Web Master:
The Web Master looks after the school website and needs to either be familiar with WordPress or willing to learn. The Web Master sends out the weekly news emails.
Activities Coordinator:
Extra Curricular activities run by the PAC, support the over-subscribed out of school care along with some other key roles. The Activities Coordinator is a member-at-large, attends monthly PAC Executive meetings, monthly PAC meetings and meets once a term with Mr. Cannon & the CST representative to plan activities for the next term. The coordinator monitors the Hudson activities email account, liaises with activities providers and compiles the monthly PAC Calendars.
