ATTENTION PARENTS: THERE IS A PARENT INFORMATION MEETING AT BROCK RE: TRANSITION OVER TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL....IT TAKES PLACE THURSDAY AT 6:30 IN THE LIBRARY.....
A busy few weeks ahead so let's try to get it all straight. Basketball playoffs begin next week. Your child should know if he/she is in the playoffs soon. If you don't hear by the end of this week, please phone the school.
There has been a number of permission slips sent home over the past little while so let's just review to make sure that you have seen them all. Skating was blue (the next skating day is March 13), Gymnastics was orange (I have all but 1 of those, we go on Feb. 26 and March 12), and the Brier was green (just $3 for that one as we are taking the bus but they have comp'd the tickets for the students to get in).
In Math we are finishing up percent and then we will be doing a bit of work on money before area/perimeter as well as reviewing fractions/decimals/percent before Spring Break. For L.A. we will be beginning our next novel study right after Spring Break so we are continuing to work on writing about the Olympics, about 'being Canadian' and doing some reading comprehension with short stories. For Science we are carrying on with Extreme Environments and that will take us up to the break. In P.E. we have tried to incorporate some Olympic sports (much modified). Ask your child about the biathlon (they were tired!). This Thursday (Feb. 20) we are going to play sledge hockey so if you have any extra mini sticks that you could lend us for the day, we would really appreciate it.
I will keep updating as I get more information so please keep checking back....
UPDATE....sledge hockey a huge success....we will do one more class of it.
