Project Presentation Day

On Friday, students brought in their completed First Nations and Ancient Civilization projects.  We invited classes to come to our fair and students shared their information with others. The projects will be marked shortly and rubrics will be returned to the students.
During the day students ate bannock with maple syrup, made aboriginal inspired friendship bracelets and Egyptian mummys.  We ended the day by piling into the "wigwam".

Overall, the day was a celebration of historic events and activities!-

Hip Hoppin'

The students enjoyed a special gym class yesterday as Mr. Henderson led the class in hip-hop dancing.  Here are a few pictures of our dancers!

Go Kyle!

Dudes!

Following Mr. H isn't easy!

Boy he can move!



Go Stephen!



Scandal at the Summer Home!

Although spending the summer in such a beautiful place is usually relaxing....something terrible happened this past summer. Scandal hit Blair Castle!  A guest was kicked out of the home because of their behaviour and you should hear the tales that are being spun!  Coming soon -- what actually happened to the guest?

My Summer Home

 Here's a picture of my summer home.  We'll be doing some writing about this amazing place tomorrow!

Grade 6 Fundraising Update

The grade 6's worked hard selling Heart-O-Grams to ACES grade 3-6 students in February.  Altogether, we raised approximately $500!
Great work!

Farewell!

We have had the privilege of having 3 Korean students spend the month of January with our class.
The students enjoyed getting to know Amy, Jane and Justin. They especially enjoyed helping them develop their English speaking skills. Today classes joined together in a small farewell ceremony where all 15 visiting students received special gifts from ACES.  Amy, Jane and Justin went home with a picture frame with our class photo adorned with student signatures.  Special thanks to Lissy and Katie for designing the photo mats.

Saying farewell to our friends.
