Week Twenty-four

This week we looked at the Middle East. Below are some of the projects that were submitted from students who became 'experts' on a country over the last few periods.

Here's a link to Saudi Arabia's group and Syria's group work.





As you can see, the kids learned a lot about different countries in the middle east and how democracy is slowly making inroads there.  I was very pleased with their efforts and the things they created.

In Science we have been working hard at our parachutes, preparing for the Science Fair next week. The 6's will be on display from 9-10:15am in the Innovation Centre (upstairs above the cafeteria) so please feel free to stop by and see all the exciting work they have done.

In LA this week we were in a writing frenzy. We finished one story and began another, which we will edit on Monday, so the kids need to make sure they bring it to school that day. And we completed a couple of quizzes on the book we are reading (The Cay) and will continue on as far as we can get next week.

And in CE, we continued with our exploration into the early church, looking at them through the lense of the Book of Acts. It is neat to see how a small group of Christians started on the road to carry the gospel of all nations (which connects with our chat with Prof. Thiessen last week very neatly!).

I hope you all have a great weekend, and we will talk more next week!
