I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend outside enjoying the beautiful weather! With the summer conditions outside it has reminded us how quickly this school year is going. It is hard to believe that there is less than a month left of this school year!
Now that the end of the year is approaching, all of the exciting end of the year activities are beginning to be prepared for. The Annual St. Jude's Academy Science Fair has been moved to the morning of May 31st, with the Track and Field event taking place that same afternoon. This day is a great day to come out and see the wonderful work the students have been doing in their science units, as well as their fitness skills which will be showcased in the afternoon. Please see your children's homeroom teacher's blogs for more information about these exciting events!
Another fascinating event that is coming up at SJA is the grade 6 Exhibition. This is a major event in the world of IB. It is a time for the grade 6 students to showcase all the work they have been doing in the PYP to date, as well as the growth they have shown through the Learner Profile. For many weeks the grade 6's have been independently synthesizing their prior learning by researching, writing proposals, making action plans, going into the community, and creating presentations on a topic of their choice. The end goal of the Exhibition project is for the students to find ways to take their learning done throughout the PYP and turn it into positive actions that will better themselves and/or the community. The Exhibition projects will be presented to the school and the community during the day of June 5th, as well as prior to Arts Night on June 5th. Please keep your eye out for more information about this event, or speak to Ms. Chin for more information!
The teacher's blogs will have more information about these events, as well as all the other important upcoming events at SJA.
Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson
