Dear Parents,

We will be preparing students for the Gala oratoire which is a showcase and a celebration of student achievement in French public speaking. The Gala is not a competition. The only “competition” part of the process is the school’s selection process to determine which presentation at various grade levels will represent the school. One student per grade level will participate in the Gala.

Students will select a poem (poème/comptine) to memorize and present to the class (maximum 1.5 minutes in length).

After presenting to the class, some students will be selected to present in front of the school. The school district has prepared a rubric to facilitate the selection of these students.

One student from grade 3 will be chosen to represent the school at the Gala d’art oratoire 2016 to be held on Saturday, May 28 from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. (division 1) at Bishop Grandin Theatre. The students will give their presentations on the stage before the audience.   All of the Gala participants are presented with certificates at the end of the day.

We have already started the practices and the kids are doing an amazing job!!

Thank you  so much for helping the kids build their boats.  We had fun floating them and seeing if they could support a load.  Next week the challenge will be to propel the boat successfully in the water.  The children also memorized information about their favourite sea animal and presented to the class.  Please do ask them to share the info. with you. They were outstanding!!

In Social Studies, the kids are working on the Natural Resources in the three communities of Iqaluit, Saskatoon and Meteghan.

In Math, we are working on addition and subtraction with regrouping as well as ordering numbers from least to greatest and vice versa.  

In French  we are continuing to work on comprehensions, grammar and story writing.

In English story writing is ongoing.  We have also been playing some vocabulary games that the kids are enjoying immensely.

Last but not the least, we have started our play practices.  It is a celebration of the Grade 2 year.  We shall keep you posted when we are ready for our show.

Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy the delightful weather!!
