Busy busy!

Although this week is a short week, it is a busy one!

Here is the scoop :

In language we are starting our speech unit. The kids will be doing speeches at the end of April, and right now we are going through the motions on how to pick good topics, and how to properly write a speech.  We have been watching speeches and talking about appropriate topics, and by next Tuesday, the kids should comfortably choose the topic they will be discussing. We are also continuing with our magazine unit this week as well.

In math we are finishing our circles unit, with a culminating task instead of a big unit test.  Next week, we are moving on to our fractions, decimals and percents unit.

In geography, we are concentrating on patterns of human settlement.

In gym, we are focusing on rugby skills and brand new fitness circuits, and in health we continue with our drug awareness unit.

Fundraising for the grade 8 trip is starting up again - with honey and chocolate bar sales information coming home soon. The tour company will be contacting all grade 8's over the next couple of weeks to discuss your payment plans and answer any questions should you have them.

If you have any questions, also feel free to contact me at the school.

Take care,
Miss Waddell
