Thanks!

We, the grade 6 teachers, would just like to thank all students, parents and fellow staff for a really great year! And to those who thought of us by way of cards and gifts, thank you! Do pop by and come visit when you return in September. But for now, have a really great summer vacation!

Cheers,

Mr. & Mrs. Antonides, Mr. Embree, & Ms. Vander Heiden

Grade 6 Talent Show

Logo

One of the new things I've been learning in my class at SFU is the programming language of Logo. It can be pretty basic and a great tool to learn about geometry and computer programming. Check out http://www.mathsnet.net/logo/turtlelogo/index.html for a go!

Urgent Call to Grade 6 Techies

If you're a grade 6 willing to help Mr. Embree with some technical setup Friday morning, please be at the middle school gym by 8:00am Friday morning with a willing attitude and an ability to work really quickly. The grade 8 students will no longer be in attendance and he really needs some good help to get things ready for chapel.

Bulldog Bowl

Country Studies

Please join us on Thursday from 9:00 to 10:30am for a celebration of culture in the gym. Students will be presenting their country study projects. They are also reminded to take their projects home after the fair.

Bibliographies

There are many online tools for constructing bibliographies. One of the better ones is found at bibme.org. It is free and has a clear interface. In some cases, it also enters much of the bibliographic information.

Once you've entered the information, it's not necessary to regisiter on the site. Find your bibliographic information under 'My Bibliography' on the right side of the page (copy & paste into your document).

Lifewater

Today Pastor Bill came and talked to our school about finding water in Liberia. He represents an organization called Lifewater Canada. Marissa said she thought about "people in other countries and how devastating their lives were." In addition, she noted how lucky we are. Matt said his talk was "eye opening" because it showed the pain felt in other countries. Talk to your child about Pastor Bill's talk. You might learn something.
