Dear Grade Six Families,
It was so nice to see you yesterday during Student-Led Conferences. It was an opportunity for your child to celebrate their learning and for them to be proud of all of their achievements. For those who were at home, we hope you enjoyed seeing all of the good work your child has been doing over the course of a few months.
We have started a new unit in Socials: Poverty. This ties in with Iqbal, the novel the students have been reading in class over the last few weeks. Having a conversation with your child regarding this topic would be greatly appreciated.
In Math, the students have started a new unit on Percentages. This is a life skill. Perhaps if you go to the store with your child and an item is 20% off, see if they can figure out the cost of the item with the discount.
In Art, we are studying the Elements of Art: Colour! We have looked at key terms such as primary colours, secondary colours, analogous colours, complimentary colours, tertiary colours and value.
