Our class did high jump for the first time this year! We also did another timed run before our DR MRS VANDERTRAMP quiz. We swapped for Sciences Humaines, the 7s are working on a Mesopotamian King/Queen trading card. After lunch we watched Bill Nye’s episode, the 7s completed a couple surveys for the yearbook and then we did gimkit.

A paper copy of the camp forms that need to be returned to school went home today, please complete and return ASAP. Even if you child is not bringing any medication, please put their name and a big line through the paper so we can keep a true record.

Class photos went home!

Hope all of our mothers have a lovely weekend!

Revenge of the 5th/Cinco de Mayo

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!

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!

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.
