Commander Hadfield watched from space a video made with students across Canada and his influence is being felt by an entire generation! Good news students from Grade 6 at St.Gabriel Catholic School in Kanata are in it!

April is Poetry Month!

Using the Showme App. in grade 5 we read our Diamante poems and showed evidence that we followed the poem's pattern.

L'océan
adjectif, adjectif
verbe, verbe, verbe
nom, nom, nom, nom
verbe, verbe, verbe
adjectif, adjectif
La terre

April is Poetry Month!

Using the Showme App. in grade 4 we read our Cinquain poems and showed evidence that we followed the poem's pattern.

Un cinquain:
Un poème qui contient cinq lignes dans
une forme spécifique.

ligne 1: un mot pour indiquer le sujet
ligne 2: deux mots qui décrivent le sujet
ligne 3: trois mots d’action à propos du sujet
ligne 4: une phrase avec quatre ou cinq mots qui décrivent le sujet
ligne 5: un mot qui signifie la même chose que le premier mot, ou un mot qui représente tout le poème

Sporks

The spork
As mentioned in the last Newsletter, the Green Club will be selling sporks (which is a 3 in 1 utensil made of durable plastic). The cost is $3. The purpose of the spork is to reduce the amount of regular plastic utensils that are being used and that often end up in the garbage. Should you want to purchase one or more, please fill out the form that was sent home yesterday and send it in with your child along with $3.

Thank you for helping St Emily be GREEN!

In preparation for Earth Day we are singing this song for our prayer and practicing it for Karaoke!
