This week November 16th to 19th


Calendar Notes:

Early Dismissal on Thursday, Nov. 19th for Parent Teacher Interviews. School lets out at 11:58 and interviews run from 1 until 7pm. Online booking is available through the school website, but at last check there were very few spaces left.

Pro D Day on Friday, Nov. 20th; no school for you, but I will be studying the new curriculum.

Academic Notes:

Health and Career: We have been focused on Teenage Brain development and substances that can interrupt or prevent that beautiful process. This week we will be looking at how to get a natural and healthy high through exercise and sport.

English: We will be reading and responding to "The Giver", a dystopian novel. The grammar grind lesson will be targeting those pesky sentence errors, fragments and run ons.

S.S.: (Division 5 has their Unit 2 Test last block on Monday) We will be looking at the rise of the Vikings. In particular, we will be investigating their nautical innovations.

French: How can you describe yourself and others in French? We will be reviewing how to conjugate the verb etre so that you can use it and a cache of useful adjectives to describe people.

Today's word is: nautical
