The Exhibition 2016!

Hi Everyone,

The Tuning-in Phase for the Exhibition began last week with the purpose of activating students' prior knowledge. We have started one month earlier this year to give students more time to familiarize themselves with the Sharing the Planet theme and the key issues that are connected with the major concepts within the theme. We also hope the earlier start will better prepare everyone for supporting the students throughout the Exhibition process.

To that end, we will also begin tuning-in for the Exhibition as a school community over the next few months leading up to the March 9th official start date to the Exhibition. Here is a timeline of some key dates. Some dates are still to be decided so I will send an update when they are ready.

Wed. Jan. 27 15:35-16:30 The grade five teachers and specialists will meet. Venue TBA.
Wed. Feb. 17 or 24 TBA 15:35-16:30 Whole school session - call for mentors
Wed. Mar. 2 March Exhibition Parent Coffee Morning
Mon. Mar. 9 The Exhibition Officially begins.
Mon-Thurs Apr. 25-28 Exhibition Practice - BBT fully booked.
Thurs. Apr. 28 18:00-20:30 The Exhibition!

Thanks,
Your Grade Five Team
Jeff, Aimee, Peta, Kasumi and Trevor
