Talent Show!

This Thursday, June 1, we will be celebrating some very talented Knights.  Our singers, musicians, thespians and Rubik's cube masters will be putting on a show like none other, and all for a great cause. Our social justice team has decided that they would like raise funds for The Children's Hospital Foundation and here's how you can be a part of it all.
At the end of the show, students will have a chance to donate to The Children's Hospital Foundation by putting their coins or cash in their favourite act's donation station.  The act that raises the most funds, will be named the winner of Ness' Got Talent.
The show will begin around 1:00 pm., families and friends of Ness students are welcome to attend.

Speechtastic!

Our next Speechtastic is an Entertaining Speech.

Students are to prepare a 2-5 minute speech. It could be a humorous story, a scary story or a dramatic story.
Students: Remember that an entertaining speech is most effective when the topic is personal and you enjoy yourself. Try to keep it simple and tell your story like a roller coaster!

Speechtastic presentations are Tuesday, June 6th.

Field Trip!

What a GREAT time we had at the Aerospace and Aviation in Manitoba Day!

Students participated in six different activities including 

a paper airplane challenge and a paper rocket challenge.

Talking Circle!

Today was our last Talking Circle with Pam, our Indigenous Liaison! She even treated us to some homemade bannock! What great discussions we've had this month!

Field Trip!

Tomorrow we are off to the Aerospace and Aviation in Manitoba Day!

We will be leaving after morning attendance and will be returning around 12:15 p.m.

Students should have a bag lunch and be dressed appropriately for the weather.

Prime Minister Project!

Each student has chosen a different Canadian Prime Minister to research.

Students have had enough class time to complete their research using different texts and websites, so they should have all the information they need.

Now, students must think creatively to create a box (or bag or suitcase...) that might have belonged to their Prime Minister and fill it with at least five different items to represent their life and career.

For the presentation, students have to take on the persona of their Prime Minister! They should introduce themselves (with information such as their birthdate, when they were Prime Minister...) and they should explain their memory box and the importance of each item.

Students do have a page with all the details and the rubric. 

This project is due Friday, June 2nd.

Field Trip Alert!

The Grade 6s are off to the Aerospace and Aviation in Manitoba Day at Red River College's Stevenson Campus on Friday, May 26th.

Students received a permission form and informative letter today.

Permission forms are due back by Monday, May 24th.

Beautiful! Amazing!

As part of Talking Circle with Pam, our Indigenous Liaison, students created identity artwork! They created their handprint and then added the compliment words - some were chosen by other students in the class and some were chosen by themselves.

Homework Alert!

The French original comic strip project is due on Monday!

Original Comic Strip Project!

After studying French comic strips for the past month, students are now working on their final project: inventing their very own original comic strip!

Their comic must be 2 - 5 pages and have at least 12 panels. It must have at least one example of each element of a comic strip and be written in beautiful French. Students should use their creativity and show their best work. 

Students will have time all this week in class to work on completing their comic strip. After that it will be homework.

The final project is due Monday, May 15th.

Talking Circle!

Throughout the month of May, we will be working with Pam, the Indigenous Liaison for our school division.
Today we had our first Talking Circle and we look forward to learning much more!
