*Orange Shirt on Monday*
We have had a very physical week in grade 6. Despite the chilly weather, the students had a great day on Thursdays Track and Field event at the Foothills Athletic Park. The students participated in the long jump, ball throw and either the 60m, 300m or 4 x 100m relay. Thank you to Ms. Latham for all her hard work in putting this event together.
We have been reviewing our numeracy skills this week with a look at place value, numeric, word and expanded form and adding and subtracting. We will be having a small quiz on these concepts a week Monday (October 7th).
In preparation for our field trip to the Apple store this upcoming Wednesday, the students have been working on writing a fractured fairytale. Using a classic fairytale as their guide, the students need to either, write the story from a different point of view, change the role of the female character or introduce a "twist" in the storyline that fractured the events. We will be learning to animate these stories using the Apple Keynote application next week.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Spriggs
