Thank you to all of the families that made it out to our Night of Gathering and Giving, and an extra special thanks to the grade 6 students that volunteered to MC the presentation and run the various giving activities. The evening was a huge success! See the feature on CTV news last night (skip to 11:40)

In this month's edition of the Hidden Valley/ Hanson Ranch Community Newsletter, the Hon. Josephine Pon wrote about her visit with the grade 6 students at Simons Valley School.
"Also last month, I was honoured to visit the wonderful Grade 6 class at Simons Valley School. The students were eager to hear about a life in public service, and the daily routine of an MLA and Minister. Our Grade 6 classes are observing their government units as part of their social studies classes this year. It was my pleasure to spend time with our students, and tell them about my duties as their representative!"
We moved from our measurement unit, looking at perimeter and perimeter formulas, to our geometry unit. We have been looking at identifying angles (acute, right, obtuse and reflex) and how to use a protractor to measure angles.
The students started a research project learning about the Canadian government's plan to ban single-use plastics by 2021. The class was split into a group supporting this ban and the other group against the ban. We will be debating this topic (let it be resolved that Canada should ban single-use plastics) next week.
Have a relaxing weekend!
