The finals will be held on zoom on the 21st of August, if you have any further questions, you can ask your child’s teacher. Thank you also to the amazing teachers who helped the students in the SLC during lunchtime. Another quick reminder to Grade 4 & 5 students to sign up to the Peer mediation program, the training and interview process is going to start in the coming weeks. Peer mediation will be a great opportunity for grade 4 & 5 for students who want to develop their leadership skills and become student leaders in grade 6. There will be more info on the program at next week assembly.

Bastille Day
Yesterday, CJC celebrated Bastille Day with a special assembly, students had the chance to partake in many activities celebrating French culture and history. We shared this amazing day with students from Fitzroy primary school. Bastille day is the day the Bastille had fallen, ‘Prise de la Bastille’. It is also known as the French independence day. In the morning, we welcomed the Fitzroy students into our classes and had a chance to get to know them better. After recess, we did some fun activities before attending a whole school special assembly. We had a CJC former student, Eugene, who studies at Eton college in the United Kingdom as our guest. Eugene explained his life as a student at Eton College. We finished the day with the soccer clinic activities and bid farewell to our new friends from Fitzroy primary school. Our day ended with some delicious crepes and pain au chocolat prepared by our parent community. Thank to all those involved in preparing this amazing day.

Fraction manipulation in Grade 6 - Manipulation de fractions en 6ème
En 6ème, nous avons commencé notre cycle de révision et d'approfondissement sur les fractions. Afin de réviser le concept en manipulant et en réfléchissant, les élèves ont été mis au défi de trouver le plus de fractions différentes en pliant une feuille identique d'origami.
Pas facile ! Ils ont ensuite constitué une réserve de fractions qui leur a servi à faire des échanges entre eux… et ainsi revoir les fractions équivalentes, mais aussi additionner les fractions pour fabriquer une figure avec 25/6 par exemple.
In Grade 6, we started our revision and strengthening cycle on fractions. To revise the concept by manipulating and thinking, the students were put to the challenge of finding as many fractions as possible by folding a sheet of origami.
It wasn’t easy! Then, they had to create a bank of fractions that allowed them to exchange paper fragments between them… and review fractions equivalents and add them to build a shape with 25/6 for example.
