The Bridgewater Junior High Super Projects are moving along almost too well.
The end of year projects have students working within their grade level to build one of three projects.
The grade eights are building a greenhouse out of recycled pop bottles.
Teacher and Project Manager Ambroise Bazot says they’ve run into a problem with the project.
“I mean it’s going very well. It’s just too well maybe. It’s going fast and so we had to figure out how to keep moving with the project so we decided to build a second greenhouse.”
Bazot says they’re now in a race to find enough two litre pop bottles.
But he’s optimistic after two local recycling depots stepped up to supply the school.
Students need & want to work on real-life projects. Great things are happening at our school! #SuperProjects2018 @nseducation @ckbwradio @SSRCE_NS pic.twitter.com/lFGmZG6KiQ

Bazot says the projects seem to be keeping the students attention.
“Yes, we’ve been very impressed with the attendance. I don’t know about this morning, but for the last two days it’s almost like a regular day. So I guess, just in itself, it’s a good sign. It shows they are interested and engaged.”
All three projects are set to be unveiled next week.
