Le bulletin 6/7FI (juin,
2016)
Wow
our last month of school! Where has the year gone? June will be another busy
month so please refer to the Important Dates on the blog. I have also
photocopied the calendar for the students. I have noted everything that I know
of; however, other events will pop up. Finally we are trying our best to plan a
French Immersion field trip…

What
we are learning
In French language, we
finally finished reading Jean Baptiste, coureur de bois (gr6) and La
valise de Hannah (gr7)! Students are writing a reading response and preparing
to present a survival kit, pretending to be that character. In social studies, Gr6’s created brochures on a
humanitarian organization that involves Canada. In geography gr7’s are
finishing learning about natural resources and writing reports about
nonrenewable and renewable resources. We will spend the rest of June working on
French language conventions, especially verbs.
In
science, gr6’s are learning about space. Gr7’s learned about convection, conduction,
and radiation heat. Once we have completed both units, we will spend the rest
of our science classes learning about advancements in space.
In
visual arts, students learned about famous sculptors
and reproduced their own sculpture using a hanger, nylon, and paint. They will
also learn about and reproduce pop art. I am hoping to make our own media art
but this will be depending on time. We will also make decorations for gr8
graduation.
In physical education, Mr. Harding and I divided both classes into
two teams, team Harding and team McCurdy, to play a season of soccer-baseball.
This will continue until the end of school.
Sincerely,
Emma
McCurdy
