This week we hosted a couple of great student presentations. Our junior and intermediate classes saw Nearly Lear; a dramatic rendition of the real Lear! It was a unique presentation that brought Shakespeare to life for the kids!
Also, our grade 6 students participated in a Wild Wild Web presentation with Debbie Gordon. Her key messages for the kids are: Think before you click, Practise Online Responsible Citizenship and Privacy=Safety. We'd ask that you take this time to review your child's online activities as a family. Many of the kids have blogs, email addresses and websites, and it might be a great time for you to go through them with the kids.
Finally, our grade 5 girls participated in an anti-bullying/empowerment presentation by Fitgirls. The girls learned about being a meanie, doormat, bystander and empowered girl. Again, the idea is for the girls to practise what they would say and do if difficult situations arise. The girls are bringing home a note for you regarding future workshops.
