We kicked off our Junior High tour season with a visit to Colonel Irvine. Forty students from Simons Valley learned about the many clubs and sports teams available to grade 7 students before going on a tour of the building. The students visited the band room, shop, art rooms, etc, before having lunch in the cafeteria. The students were interested in knowing more about options, how to open their lockers and why they have to change before gym class. We will be visited by G.P. Vanier this Wednesday to learn about their late french immersion program, followed by a tour of Sir John A MacDonald on February 27th.
The students did some note-taking on the various classes of people and important places in Ancient Athens this week. Now that we have a basic understanding of how the city worked, we will be creating an Ancient Athens board game starting Monday.
The students created brochures this week on one of the planets in our solar system. They needed to research the characteristics of their planet (size, distance from the sun, composition) and include images relevant to the planet. This brochure is due to Mr. Spriggs on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Cull
