Electrical Safety by Michael Neumann of Birnies Current Safe


Day 8
We had our end-of month assembly first thing today. Students who have been recognised by their peers as being inquirers received their awards. Well done to Jacob for being nominated by the Grade 6s class as an inquirer! The awards were followed by a house game led by Mrs. Pettrawala who runs the Blossom Yoga class at SJA. In the game, student representatives from each house and grade completed relay races using yoga poses. We also practiced our breathing. Well done to Theta who took first place in both games.




 

 
We had only a few minutes of math time before our guest arrived. There is no math homework assigned this weekend. Whole Numbers unit tests are coming home today. Please take time to review the test with your child, sign the test, and return the test for Monday.

Michael Neumann of Birnie Current Safe was our special guest speaker today. He spoke to the class about electrical safety in the home. We heard amazing facts we did not already know. Students took notes while he spoke. They will be using the information they recorded to create an electrical safety poster. Mr. Neumann ended up spending double the amount of time speaking to us than we had planned on. We are extremely grateful to him for giving us his time and expertise. Parents, please ask your child to summarise what they learned about electrical safety today.



 

We ran out of time to hear Areej’s and Sakshi’s learner profile presentations today. We will hear them next week Monday/Tuesday instead.

Students attended French, gym, and music class today.

Look out for a letter about Movie Night from the parent guild coming home today.
