Phew, what a day!

The 7s and I had a blast at WGSS this morning! The GQs did a great job running a bunch of activities with our groups, the students got to see the school, do a PE activity, have a snack, win some prizes etc. The other JKE teachers and I got to see former students and hang out with Mr Rogers, who we miss dearly.

After Collab, the 7s did a but of Sciences Humaines (currently discussing the paleolithic age) and the 6s headed off to music. We had a visiting grade 12 student hang out and observe us during SH, which was lovely.

Looking forward to a more regularly scheduled day tomorrow.

Les Devoirs:

  • demain- 7s: Orchestre, 6s: Bibliothèque
  • jeudi- Dress Like a Character Day
  • vendredi- Education Physique

À demain!

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!

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 🙂
