Happy Monday- what a stunning day! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, sounds like lots of sports playing and watching happened, some traveling, some eating at Cactus Club, fun fun fun 🙂 My family and I went up the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish and then had raclette, yum 😀

If possible, please allow them to find some recycled containers to freeze water, and maybe start stashing some ice cubes to bring in. We will have a bit more time tomorrow to discuss the plans. Thank you in advance!

A very exciting day for the 7s- WGSS Gr 8 Course Info! Each student is coming home with a blue or blue and yellow course forms. These are not due back until Feb 20, well after the Parent Info Session, forms returned before then will be sent back to you. Students were also shown the relevant WGSS Course Planning websites, linked HERE and HERE.

6s are working with mixed numbers and improper fractions in Math, I was very encouraged by the conversation and output by the class today.

We also did a preceding activity for our English class novel this term, I’m excited to unveil the book tomorrow 🙂

7s began their Sciences Humaines journey this afternoon, Prehistory is our focus this term 🙂

C’est le temps de chien! A fun French expression about the weather 🙂

Concours has officially begun! We went over the rules, the rubric, the schedule and had a few moments to begin brainstorming topics this morning. I will add the schedule to the blog so anyone can see at anytime where we are at. The 7 week countdown to presentations is on!

After recess we switched for Math- 7s are working on translation on a graph and 6s worked with manipulatives to visualize fractions greater than 1.

After lunch, 7s went to Band and 6s went to Sciences Humaines the first time. 7s will have their first block of SH tomorrow.

Afterwards, we did our first On Partage! Part of our preparation for Concours will be to present in front of the class in short bursts about a fun topic. Today’s was, in your opinion, what season is best? The class did great- volume, all in French and ideas explained are the 3 criteria and I was very impressed. Bravo les amis! The results: 1- printemps, 5- automne, 6,5- été, 11,5- hiver.
