February 25-28 Last Week of School

Thank you to everyone for your flexibility during what turned out to be our last day of school.  Everything happened so quickly!  Unfortunately we had to cancel our YEP performance but we were able to have a last minute dress rehearsal with other grades and share our learning.  This week we visited Grade 2's Special City and take a close look at Grade 6's Exhibition. 

Also, this was the last day of school for Chinmay and Hyeri.  We will miss you both so much!  I am sure you will both go on to do amazing things in the future.  Please keep in touch!  I'm so sorry that we didn't have a chance to have a proper goodbye but you will both stay in our hearts and we will all cherish the memories we've shared here.

Here are a few highlights from this past busy week:

YEP Dress Rehearsal
Even though we weren't 100% ready to perform, Grade 5 gave a great performance of our Propaganda skit in front of primary.  It turned into a nice dress rehearsal and was fun to see what other classes had done as well.  I am really proud of Grade 5 for writing and performing such a great play.  Everything tied very closely with our unit on the dangers of propaganda and why it is important to be critical thinkers.

Visit to Grade 2
Grade 2's tourism department contacted us for a visit to their town.  We flew by plane (elevator) to arrive and experience all that their wonderful town had to offer such as a bakery, bank, dentist's office, daily newspaper, post office, library, and many more exciting places.  Kids were given mock money and allowed to shop around the town for goods and services.   It was a wonderful way for the two grades to role play and learn together. 

Exhibition
After school on Friday we had the opportunity to see all of the hard work done by Grade 6 throughout the year.  Topics presented were about deforestation, volunteering, water pollution, and poverty.  It was a great opportunity for Grade 5 to ask questions and learn about how to become involved and take action in the community.  It was also a great chance for them to have a window into what they will start working on in the next month.
