This week, November 10th to 14th


A big thank you to Mr. Hull, Mr. O'Gorman, Mr. Ostropolski, Mrs Hurwood and Mr. Umback for stepping up to volunteer as chaperones at our field trip ( I almost said "as tribute" because my head is in dystopian novels).
To students in both Divisions 5 and 6:  I was really proud of you all; you represented Journey and Sooke well. We hear it time and time again when we take you Sooke kids out and about, "where are you from, your kids are so polite?" It makes my heart swell.

Tuesday is an important day of remembrance for us and when you look at dystopian novels, you quickly realise how close to a utopia Canada is and we have our military to thank for protecting our privileged way of life. We will have a Remembrance Day ceremony on Monday after recess from 10:47 to 11:40. Tuesday is a civic holiday.

Academic Notes:

English: Dystopian Novels will be recorded and independent novel studies will be started this week.

S.S.: The Vikings, not just a bunch of thugs. We will study their boat building skills, society and religion this week and next.

French: Describing people and what they are wearing.

HCE: Your brain and sugar (this lesson was planned for last week, but internet interruption rescheduled it to this week)
