Another busy day!
We worked on our speeches some more, switched for Math, helped our little buddies do some research for their culture projects and read another chapter in our novel before breaking off for Band and Library.
Good luck to our girls basketball team on their first game today!
Tomorrow is Dress Like a Book Character Day- have some fun with it!
Vendredi:
À vendredi!
Hope you all had a nice weekend, the weather was very cooperative if you wanted to be outside at all 🙂
Today was very exciting for the 7s- 2 of my students from last year came to chat with us about their experience so far in grade 8. They had lots of great insight to share and in return, the 7s asked lots of questions. Tomorrow we will be sending the morning at WGSS for Transition Day with the other feeder schools. We still start all together in the gym, then break into smaller groups with a couple WGSS GQs (leadership students) to go on a tour and answer any other questions they may have. As we are walking there and back, and may also be participating in a physical activity in the gym, students are encouraged to wear running shoes and other appropriate clothes. As well, students are encouraged to bring a small pocket snack. A snack will be provided by WGSS, but we all know that one is never enough. Water bottles are also permitted. Any questions, let me know.
If your family is participating in Literacy Bingo, the sheet is due tomorrow.
Grade 6/7 girls basketball practice 8:00am. Grade 6 boys 12:00.
Thursday is ‘Dress Like a Book Character Day”.
À demain!
Joyeux vendredi!
Here are some photos of the various sculptures de grace that were created yesterday!
We accomplished a lot today! More basketball in PE, read another chapter in our novel, each grade wrote a Math quiz, planned more of our speech and continued writing about our insignificance in relation to a something found in our environment. The Soo-permarché was also opened for the first time in 2026.
Reminder to grade 7s- we are going to WGSS Tuesday morning for Grade 7 Transition Day!

Bonne fin de semaine!

Lots of good work happening in the chalet these days- planning our speeches continues, translating shapes and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, reading and discussing our novel, preparing for our ice sculptures and beginning stages of examination of early humans (pictured).
Basketball extracurriculars continue! Good luck to the grade 6 boys who play their first game this afternoon!

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 😀
To celebrate Carnavale this week, we will be constructing ice sculptures Thursday morning. Students are responsible for bringing EVERYTHING for their group- including ice. 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!
It is Family Literacy Week this week! Interested students brought home a bingo sheet on Friday (see picture).

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 🙂
Basketball permission forms due back tomorrow please.
À demain!
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.
Grade 7s- WGSS GRADE 8 COURSE SELECTION PRESENTATION tomorrow morning. A very important thing you do not want to miss!
Les Devoirs:
And that’s a wrap on our first week of 2026! We eased back into it but we also did some good learning.
Next week, it gets real. Concours begins, Sciences Humans begins, Math continues and so on and so on. Term 2 is short but intense, buckle up!
Les Devoirs:
Bonne fin de semaine, à lundi!
