Happy Thursday!
Today was very exciting, the
students spent the morning hearing the top 3 students from each grade present their
poems to a panel of three outside judges and the entire school! As a new
teacher to St. Jude’s I found this morning an amazing opportunity for the students
and a true indication of what a diverse program St. Jude’s offers. As for the students,
they were engaged in the poems and all have something to strive for next year!
Our class members that presented were Sofia, Angela and Arin, all three of them
did a fantastic job! Students observing were active audience members.
Participating well in the role of an audience member will go towards Drama
marks for the students. When your children get home ask them what they liked
most about the oral presentation competition!
In the afternoon we continued
to work hard on our UOI. The students are all gathering great information and
brainstorming about their independent projects. Below I’ve added some pictures
of the students hard at work!

We are excited
to announce the commencement of our recorder program as part of the SJA Arts
Curriculum for grades 1 through 6. Recorders will be used as a means to
explore, practice and showcase the musicality of the students at St.
Jude’s. The recorder program will begin in Term 3, and will be a large part of
the Term 3 Art assessments.
Students may
choose to bring in their own recorders from home if they are already in
possession of the instrument in the soprano range. Families also have the
option of buying a recorder directly from St. Jude’s for $10.00. These recorders
will become the possession of the student to be used throughout Term 3 and will
be taken home with them to keep at the end of the program.
We look forward
to the enjoyment and education that is sure to follow this exciting musical
program!
