Class Vote:
I wish to recap what was decided in class today regarding a camping trip. The class voted with great vigour to participate in an overnight experience. From this point, the majority of the students opted for a two day/one night excursion at a location off of the school grounds. We will likely camp at one of the local lakes here on the Sunshine Coast. I have begun inquiries.
The trip will take place on Tuesday, June 18th - Wednesday June 19th. The cost should not be more than about $30.00, including food costs (each student will choose a group to work with and will divvy up food stuffs that will sustain them throughout the two day trip). As we will be counting on parent drivers, transportation costs should be low. Thus, the costs will be the rental of the campground, lifeguard costs (if we can secure one), and costs for any communal meals we may decide upon.
Thank you so much for the great conversations that you have clearly had at home regarding this endeavour. I am excited that the students rallied and have taken ownership of making a camping trip happen!
Homework:
Please bring your band instruments tomorrow. Our upcoming concert will begin at 1:30pm on this next Friday, June 7th. If parents can attend, we'd be so pleased.
We are now wrapping up Lit Circles. Character Sketches were due last Friday and our Hot Seat presentations will begin tomorrow. Please make sure you are in costume!!
We have been working on geometry in math. Please make sure you understand the concepts and if you miss a day, it is your responsibility to check in with me to catch up. This is best done before or after school.
Intermediate Beach Day is coming up this next Wednesday, June 5th. Please hand back your signed permission forms!
Thursday, June 6th is our introduction to Elphinstone. Students will be dismissed from Elphinstone that day and will take the appropriate busses to the location of drop off for next year.
