THANK YOU ARAV FOR READING YOUR POEM AT THIS MORNING'S ASSEMBLY.
Grade 10/11 Interviews are coming along well. Please make sure you record yourself asking and answering the questions (you need to have a hard copy of the Q & A). The length may run from 1minute to 3 minutes. This work is due on Tuesday 26.
Grade 9 Please, make sure you have your work completed for the calendar project and that you have coordinated the work with your partner. You should have a visual component and everyone in your group has their own part on a hard copy as well.
Grade 8 Vocabulary and expressions related to animals and their care were discussed and recorded. This will be handy for the presentation coming up. You will have time in class to work on it. Today, students formed partnerships to work on their broadcast.
Grade 7 Today was a bit difficult. It is the smallest and shortest words that cause students to pause. With practice, you will be expert!
Grade 6 Students worked on the delivery of their lines for the drama part of their exhibition. Small modifications were done to the scripts to help with the flow of sentences.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND!
