Year 6 Blog-Week of Sunday, August 31- Thursday, September 4

I would to thank all those parents who came to “Meet the Teacher” night last week. It was a pleasure getting to know you.

This week in Year 6 we finished the introduction to our first Unit of Inquiry-Healthy Mind and Healthy Body.

Students created posters with their personal goals to achieve healthy bodies and minds and thus a fantastic school year!

 

In addition, we wrote a variety of poems {I Am, Diamante, Concrete, Acrostic} on the same theme that were inserted into our Poetry Anthology book.

Students also gave an oral presentation on family and cultural traditions. They chose a visual aid such as: a power point, poster or costume and talked to the class for a minute or so.

Our next Unit of Inquiry is Children’s Rights. We began with lessons on Child Protection with Mrs. Natasha.

We hope to use the iPads to create some wonderful projects incorporating this new and exciting technology.

Your child will also be given a Mathletics user name and password that will be glued into their planner .Speaking of which… please check and sign the planner each day for the next week or so. It is a very simple but effective form of communication.

Regards,

MR.RICK
