It's really hard to believe that the end of September is upon us! One month of school has flown by! Our class has been really busy in all areas. We are right into the novel, The Hunger Games and have been doing many activities related to the book. We look forward to learning more about Katniss and Peeta. It's really important that students keep on top of assignments and hand them in when they are due. It's easy to fall behind and we don't want that to happen.  We have dived deep into the world of cells in Science recently, we are learning about what cells are made of and what things are made of cells. Our first experiment in class was a huge success, students worked cooperatively to solve a scientific problem.  Social Studies has us turning into archaeologists - we are creating our own site map for people to discover hundreds of years from now. Students have to come up with 10 artifacts that would be found in their site and carefully describe them. Time flies when you're having fun - that's certainly the case in our classroom.
All the grade 8s travelled to Camp Arnes on Thursday, September 26th for some team-building activities. It was a great day! All the activities we completed involved working together cooperatively. We did some initiative tasks which included climbing through ropes and getting out of 'jail', we climbed high ropes and played human foosball! It was a fantastic day of working together, making new friends and having fun!!! Check out the photos below!
