Grade 6 2009-2010

Day 0 of the countdown to Grade 6 09-10 is here! This year, we'll explore space, human development, change, the environment...we'll practise reading and writing strategies, and learn about our history. My number one goal is to get you students ready for high school! Second goal, stay safe. Third goal, have fun while learning. I believe that staying active is good for our bodies and minds, and that the arts, music, drawing, acting, help us find the beauty in life. I am your ally; my role at Holland is to support you! This year, I hope that the class pulls together, and that we "take care of our own". This is the first day of your last year at Holland. Take a snapshot of this moment for the memory book in your mind. What are your goals? Who will you choose to be this year?

Camp Keno !!

All grade sixes at Holland school have worked very hard on their final exams.

Our school Principal has decided that we deserve a break, Camp Keno is where we were going!

We had fun and most of the kids were well behaved.

All the students participated in the activites and tried their hardest. The counsellors were nice to everyone and they helped students who needed it.

Unfortunatetly many student got sick, some of them had the flu and others had a rough cold.

We had lots of pleasure anyways!

Track & Field Day

On June 1st, kids in classes 4-6 were outside playing and running around. The kids were seperated into their house colours doing different activities and stations. Supervisors and teachers were recording the kids' progress etc.. The events were shotput, discuss throwing, obstacle race, high jump, baton relay, cooperative games, long jump and other stations such as the 50 meter sprint...

the exams

This month we started doing our end of the year exams. We are doing math exams, french exams and language (LES) exams. The math tests included different kind of problems testing our math abilities. In the french test we had to read about diffrent kind of birds and at the end we had to create a bird that could survive in our environment.

book talks

This month in our class we had book talks. I think it was quote interesting to know what the other people were reading this month. They needed to read a book and present the most interesting parts in their book. They needed to talk about the story, the meaning, features, meaning etc..

stripe art

This month each of the students in our class had to do art ,striped art.We had multiple choices of pictures of animals ,wildlife and lands.We had to cut the image in stripes and do whatever we want with it.

Google Sketchup 7

Last week, our class started to learn a new program on the computers. The program is called Google Sketchup 7. The program is made by Google. We can upload things on the program and play around with it. You can even upload people on the program! We can make buildings or even objects. You can even upload doors or windows for your house! It's a very neat program. At the end of the year, our class is going to do a project on it. The program is very complex, but our class is having a good time figuring it out!
