6C Parents and Students,
We kicked off our Junior High tour season with a visit to Colonel Irvine. Forty students from Simons Valley learned about the many clubs and sports teams available to grade 7 students before going on a tour of the building. The students visited the band room, shop, art rooms, etc., before having lunch in the cafeteria. The students were interested in knowing more about options, how to open their lockers and why they have to change before gym class. We will be visited by G.P. Vanier this Wednesday to learn about their late French immersion program, followed by a tour of Sir John A MacDonald on February 27th.
The students did some note-taking on the various classes of people in Ancient Athens this week. Now that we have a basic understanding of how the city worked, we will be creating an Ancient Athens board game starting next week.
In Science this week, students learned about constellations and objects that “appear” to move across the sky. Students listened to an indigenous story about the sky and started a constellation storybook.
We finished off our week with our speaking show called TUSC. Each student presented a topic they were interested in and did an excellent job! We ran out of time and will be finishing off the remaining presentations on Monday.
Stay warm!
Ms. Blyth
