Orange Shirt Day – Monday, September
30
6C
Families,
We have
had a very physical week in grade 6. Despite the chilly weather, the
students had a great day on Thursday’s Track and Field event at the Foothills
Athletic Park. The students participated in the long jump, ball throw and
either the 60m, 300m or 4 x 100m relay.
Thank you to Ms. Latham for all her hard work in putting this event
together.
We have
been reviewing our numeracy skills this week with a look at place value,
numeric, word and expanded form and adding and subtracting. We will be
having a small quiz on these concepts a week Monday (October 7th).
In
preparation for our field trip to the Apple store this upcoming Thursday, the
students have been working on writing a fractured fairytale. Using a
classic fairytale as their guide, the students need to either, write the story
from a different point of view, change the setting or introduce a
"twist" in the storyline that fractures the events. We will be
learning to animate these stories using the Apple Keynote application next
week.
Have a
great weekend,
Ms.
Blyth
