Using technology to Research

Grade 6P and 6PS partner up and use Underground Railroad secret codes to write letters to help salves escape to freedom. Ask us how they found their way north in the day and night time. 

Is the Underground Railroad a real Railroad?

Students are investigating the who, what, where, when, why and how of the Underground Railroad to Canada. They are using an amazing resource from Scholastic to help them understand each part of a runaway slave's journey. You can check it out here:

Collaborative map making

We are making a GIANT map of Canada for our bulletin board. Check back later to see what we do with it!

 

Tangram Torture!

We read a legend about where tangrams originated 

and then tried to recreate the puzzle

Shouts of "I got it!" were heard around the room. Music to the teacher's ears :)

Grade 6 VIPs!

Today Constable Mark came to talk to us about drugs and criminal offences. Grade  6 students learn about Values, Influences and Peers. 

Madame's New French Web site :)

Great news: Madame Montemurri, and the other amazing French teachers, have created an FSL website for you! You can access the new site right from our Symbaloo page by clicking the tile with the Eiffel Tower on it. There are still links to the verb practice sites on our page to help you prepare for your test on Tuesday.

Snow Day at School

Having fun indoors with the snow. Grade 6 Pike and 6 Seguin are helping the Early Years students explore properties of liquids and solids, and colours, through play. Fun!
