International Day

We set up our display for International Day right at the beginning of the day.

We then headed to class where students wrote the measurement unit test.

After the unit test, we spent time reflecting on the art UOI.

Speech time was next. We read about the parts to a counterargument paragraph. Students used class time to begin planning their paragraph. We did not complete first drafts in class nor did we have time for students to ask for feedback from peers or a teacher. Grade 6s are asked to complete this work over the weekend.

We very much enjoyed our curling time at Acton Curling Club. Many in our class remembered what they had learned last year. For a few members of our class, today was their first attempt at curling. Well done to everyone. It was wonderful to see students encouraging each other.

 

We got back to school just as International Day was starting. There were many wonderful displays and yummy food. Grade 6s enjoyed vising other classes’ displays as much as showing off their own. Thank you to parents for sending in food, drinks, and other needed items for our presentation as well as making time to come and see our work.

 

Have a wonderful weekend.
