Revenge of the 5th/Cinco de Mayo

Posted on by

I’m starting to sound like a broken record but PHEW today was busy!

We switched for Math, then all headed outside for some Track and Field. ALL events moving forward will be recorded for placements/distances. After recess, we did a fun reaction time science lab with catching rules.

After lunch, a group of wonderful GQs from WGSS came to run some fun activities with our 7s, who also got to ask any questions they might have and to practice opening combination locks. The 6s had collab, some time with Mme Gaudet and then Music.

Please assume we will be doing track and field at least once each day. Dress accordingly and bring your hydration!

Les Devoirs:

  • demain: Peace Circles, Orchestre
  • jeudi: Official Long Jump
  • vendredi- Quiz- DR MRS VANDERTRAMP, High Jump practice

À demain!

May the 4th Be With You

Science World was so much fun!! The bus rides there and back were relatively painless, and the exhibits weren’t too busy. We got to do the AI workshop in conjunction with the Bodyworks exhibit, and I think everyone ate? Everyone certainly made it back to JKE 🙂

A HUGE merci to our parents that came with us today, without you, this trip would not have been possible!

This week’s track and field results will be recorded to pass on to Mr Knox for JKE finals/moving on to Districts. PLEASE come dressed everyday prepared to run/jump/throw!

Demain:

  • Track and Field
  • 7s- WGSS GQ visit in the afternoon (6mes- SH)
Big should out to all the teachers/educators/SEAs etc!

À demain!

Cannot believe it’s May!!! It’s a fast and furious next 2 months so buckle up!

Grade 7s had a Camp Jubilee meeting today to discuss all the things, an email will be coming soon from Mrs Sollows with all the information/links/waivers/forms needed.

We practiced some Track and Field events, and the afternoon was a catch up block for a bunch of stuff.

We went over relevant information for Monday’s Friel trip to Science World:

Have a great weekend, enjoy the incredible weather!

À lundi!

Busy busy day!

Some work with DR MRS VANDERTRAMP this morning, then some Math. After recess we met with Ms Harnoor for our 5th Peace Circles. After lunch we did some long jump and 200m practice before switching off for Band/Library.

Speaking of Peace Circles, I am noticing that not everyone seems to be demonstrating that they understand the point of peace circles. I feel like we are still choosing to engage in behaviours not in line with our agreed upon guidelines and expectations, and as a result, some students are being treated in unkind and unfair ways. Mme Huard and I will continue to remind and encourage everyone to be kind, safe and respectful, but will separate groups if good choices cannot be made, and may use recess times to engage in constructive conversations as needed. Thank you for your support at home.

Students are encouraged to have appropriate clothing, footwear and hydration assistance at all times for the foreseeable future. We will be going outside as often as possible to practice Track and Field.

Les Devoirs:

  • vendredi- Education Physique, Dîner Chaud, Passé Composé ReQuiz
  • lundi- SCIENCE WORLD

À vendredi!

Happy Monday! Wasn’t that just the loveliest weekend? Spent most of it outside with my family.

Today was a typical busy and productive Monday- students wrote the passé composé quiz, we switched for Math (congrats to all grade 7s who competed in the Pi contest! Congrats to Annika!) We did a gallery walk for our one-pagers, they look amazing! After lunch we switched off for Band/Sciences Humaines, then finished the day getting familiar with the nervous system in preparation for our field trip next Monday.

Speaking of, if you haven’t yet made the payment/permission form on SchoolCashOnline, please do so as soon as possible. If your child is not attending, would you mind sending me an email? We would love a couple more volunteers as well if you are willing/able.

I am viewing this week as the “calm before the storm”, once May really begins, it gets pretty crazy!

À demain!

TGIF! What a beautiful and busy day we had! We ran 2 timed laps in PE, so many students are making solid improvements on their times which is amazing. We also did our first long jump practice. We switched for Math, grade 6s have a graded assignment due Monday. After recess we did Jump Rope for Heart with our little buddies. After lunch was our final work block for our Cactus one-pagers- they look amazing! Lots of incredible work! The Soo-permarché was also open and students walked out the door with their freezies from Jump Rope.

We did not have the passé composé quiz today, Monday instead.

Students are reminded to have appropriate clothing/footwear at school at all times, we may practice Track and Field without notice!

Another productive day!

We did a fun timed activity in French this morning, students were given 35 verbs and had to write down its participe passé. They then had a work block for their Cactus One-Pagers. We switched for Math and after collab they had a work period for anything on the go at the moment then switched off Sciences Humaines or Music.

Grade 7s continue to vote to whittle down their Farewell theme, and the Yearbook group is getting going on that. Busy busy busy.

Tomorrow morning I will be away at a training and back for the afternoon, we have Peace Circles with Miss Harnoor.
