Bottle Drive: April 3rd to 6th

Once again the Grade 6 classes are running a bottle drive to raise money for the year end camp trip.  We will do a morning collection before school on Wed, Thurs, Fri, and all morning on Saturday the 6th.
Volunteers are needed.  Please let me know which days you can volunteer.

Update Before Spring Break

Miss Fisher continues to teach the class after Spring Break.  She is getting the students to update their agendas regularly, so keep checking them.

Over the break, students should finish their posters on India.  Students will have done notes for each of the four sections: Language and Education; Rooted in Religion; Performing Arts; Foods of India.  They should have rough copies of each section, and over the break should complete a poster.

Other homework that should have been finished, but some students are still missing includes:

• French sandwich book\
• India map
• Series circuits
• Parallel Circuits
• Conductors
