Error in yesterday's blog. The iPads will be used for very specific activities, from time to time in math, French, and for research. They are a privilege and an 'extra' so only students modelling good work habits will be using them.
Tomorrow there is no assembly and tomorrow we are going on a field trip to deliver good wishes.
Miss:Newton had to leave sick at lunch and we had a sub but she will be in tomorrow hopefully.

All are welcome, free for everyone!
Concession available
Today in school there was a very loud sound and the room shook. The bang and the shaking was very loud and quite shocking. As a precaution we left the room and continued working in the library. Mr. Woodhurst came immediately to investigate and concluded that it is a normal 'sluffing' of snow off the sloped gym roof onto the roof of the classroom section of the school. It was very loud because it had built up over a long period of time and was overhanging with a large accumulation of snow. The building is designed specifically for this and the supports are cantilevered to deal with this stress. Unfortunately we didn't know that there would be an accompanying sound and shaking! I tried to reassure students but some were quite upset about the situation and were happy to work in the library for the rest of the day. Mr. Hooker came to talk to our class to explain and reassure the students. If you have further questions please tell me.
Grade 6's have the microscope thank you mark in their agendas. Many students didn't follow clearly discussed and reviewed assignment criteria, and received lower than expected marks.
We did a simile poem today. Students are to use 'like' twice and 'as' twice in the poem, example below. The poem is due Monday.
EXAMPLE:
Simile Poem- School Today
School today had its ups and downs, just like a roller coaster
except the downs were more in number than the ups
A bang and vibration above sound like an earthquake
or a giant monster crow landing above us
Kids off task in the library, as noisy as a bunch of laughing hyenas
except that hyenas don't need to learn like our students do
But today is over, as done as dinner
And tomorrow is a new day of love and fun

Chocolate
Truffles were a treat today! Here is the simple recipe
200g (175 ml) chocolate chips
1/2 cup (120
ml) heavy whipping cream (or coconut milk)
1 tsp vanilla (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
2
tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup (approximately) rice krispies, crushed up to be 1/4 original size
1/2 cup cocoa to roll the truffles in.
Chocolate
Truffles: melt chocolate
chips in a medium sized pot, add cream and vanilla Bring just to a boil. Stir
with a rubber spatula until smooth. Boil at low heat for 3 minutes and until all buts are smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt - makes a big
and good difference! Let cool outside until it the mix is like play dough or a bit softer. Add the rice crisps and stir in. Working quickly to form the balls and roll each in a bowl of cocoa powder. You might have to pause and re-cool the mixture, and the heat from your hands messes things up if you take too long making each ball perfect. STORE IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER.
