Happy Friday!

Hello Parents and Div 10 Students,

This week at Queneesh was another busy work week.  Please take the time to have a conversation with your son or daughter about what they are learning.

We covered the following concepts this week:

Math: grade 6's finished learning about the area of a rectangle A= l x w and they are now learning about the volume of a rectangular prism V= L x H x W.
Grade 7's finished up calculating the circumference of a circle and are learning how to calculate the area of a parallelogram A= b x h.

LA- this week in Poetry we are learning how to write different types of poems.  We wrote the following poems this week: Haiku, Cinquain, Limerick, Concrete and Autobiographical.

Science- we discussed the importance of bones and muscles.  The students worked in small groups to prepare educational presentations about muscles.  Next week we will explore the nervous system through a web quest and mini discussions.

Art- last week we made sunglasses and this week we started a doodle gram assignment.

PE- we've been learning how to play Ultimate Frisbee and working on our school dance performance.  We also started our Track and Field practices- please bring water and running shoes!

French- the students have been learning how to use simple expressions to talk about clothing.  On Monday they will perform a fashion show using French.

Upcoming events: RCMP internet safety talk, Track and Field practice, Doug David note taking tutorials, BC First Nations unit.

Have a great weekend!
