Photos for Leaving Ceremony - February 26th

Photos for the Grade 6 Leaving Ceremony will be on Thursday, February 26th. On that day, it is a good idea to send your child to school with a white blouse (girls) or collared shirt (boys). Caps and gowns are usually provided by the photography company. As I receive more information I will update students and have them write anything important in their agenda.

Also, a reminder that the Leaving Ceremony will take place on Tuesday June 23rd. The exact time has not been determined yet, but it will be around 1PM. Perhaps a little earlier or a little later depending on schedules of everyone involved.

Additionally, the year end trip for the Grade 6's will be at the Y-Camp on June 15. More information will follow as we get closer to the date. If you have any questions about any of the year end activities, please feel free to contact me at school any time.

Data Management Unit is coming to an end....

We are finishing up our unit on Data Management in math. Next week, we will be reviewing the concepts taught throughout the unit, and doing some assessments throughout the week. We will be doing some EQAO questions from past years, a problem solving activity, and having our unit test. Hopefully we will be able to have the test Friday, January 23, but it may have to wait until the following week depending on timing. I prefer to give students a few extra days to ensure that they really understand the material before giving them a final assessment task.

To assist your child at home, here is a link to a blendspace unit I have put together. If your child understands and is able to complete everything in this unit, then they will certainly be ready for the test. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school.

Reminder About Field Trip to Museum of Nature

Hello everyone and welcome back to a New Year of learning! I wanted to remind everyone about our upcoming field trip to the Museum of Nature on Tuesday, January 13th. We will be touring the museum and participating in workshops about Our Local Biodiversity.

The classes will be leaving the school at 9:30 AM and returning at about 2PM. We will be eating lunch at the museum. A lunch area has been reserved, but students should bring a packed lunch. I am not certain about the possibility of purchasing a lunch there, or the amount of time it may take, so bringing a lunch is the best option for students that day.

Additionally, please encourage your child to leave any technology at home for this day. Our bags will be in a common area with other schools, and if something were to go missing, it may well be impossible to track it down. The safest option is to leave all technology at home. Also, please remind your child that they should have nothing of value in their bag, in case anything were to go missing.

We are looking forward to a wonderful day. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact myself, Ms. Bontes or Madame Tweedie.
