A note from our grade 6’s!

Dear SJA Families,

The Grade 6 class invites you to attend the Exhibition on Friday, May 6, 2016, from 9 am to 11 am, or from 6 pm to 8 pm in the auditorium.
The Exhibition is the culminating task of the IB Primary Years Programme. It is where students work collaboratively to explore a local issue that interests them.  This year’s Grade 6s have chosen the following topics to explore:
Poverty
Terrorism
Industrialization
Animal Abuse
Declining Bee Population
Racism
Issues Facing Aboriginal Peoples on Reserves
Climate Change

Some great reasons why you should attend if your child is NOT in Grade 6 include:
·      Supporting and celebrating with the Grade 6s
·      Learning about these issues
·      Being aware of what will be expected of your child when they are in Grade 6
We hope to see you then.

Sincerely,
The Grade 6 Class
