Grade 7 Transition

by 110059 on June 11, 2012

Today at school, we spent one period transitioning to grade 7. Basically, we went to one of the grade 7′s classes, and the teacher  explained how the grade 7 works. She said that the most important thing is to be independent and organize. She also explained us how the grades works, and how the classes will be organized, i think some of the advice that the homeroom teacher told us was really helpful, because this prepares us going to grade 7. But what I am worried about the most is the grades, because i think that the grades are very strict, for example if we get a low mark in our report card (3 or below), then we will get in trouble.

I am looking forward to grade 7, but unfortunately grade 6 is almost over, and I am quite sad. But anyways, I think everyone will be  looking forward to the summer holidays. :)

Exhibition

by 110059 on May 9, 2012

The past few weeks, we’ve been working on our Exhibition. In the beginning, we chose our top 3-4 topics. I chose:

1. Technology

2. Social Media

3. The Feminist Movement

After choosing your top choices, the teachers were deciding which group each student should be in. Later, they told us which group we are in, they also told us our group members. The topic that I am doing is Feminist Movement. Although I didn’t get my first choice, but i am still happy  in my  focus area. The group members that are in my group are Alyssa and Cherilyn, I am also happy with my group members. We discussed our purpose, and we also refined it. Our purpose is to understand how the feminist movement of the past has shaped our life today. We also thought of our Lines of Inquiry and our Guiding Questions. We also did our general background research.

So thanks for reading :)
