The push through to Spring Break has been very successful. The Grade 7 students worked very hard on their Olmec/Minoa/Mesopotamia persuasive essay while the Grade 6 students researched a country of their choice. We also wrapped up the unit on Gr 7 Chemistry and Gr 6 Electricity. Lots of reading, writing and learning!
When we come back on April 4th, we will start off with Bard on the Beach. Our time is 9:00-9:45 am every morning Apr 4-7 and Apr 11-14 with a presentation on Apr 14. As well we will be going to see a play on Apr 8 which ties into our drama and Gr 7 Social Studies unit on Ancient Egypt. Athletically we will be learning the basics of Australian Rules Football (Footy) for 4 sessions in April. It will be very busy but we are committed to making the most of our academic time so that we can enjoy these extraordinary events.
Report cards will be going home April 14th.
Here are some initiatives open to our students that they might consider doing over Spring Break. I have spoken about these in class but you might remind your child if they're looking for something to do.
