A note from the Grade 6 class : Dear SJA Families,

The Grade 6 class invites you to attend the Exhibition on Friday, May 5, 2017, from 9 am to 11 am, or from 6 pm to 8 pm in the auditorium.

The Exhibition is the culminating task of the IB Primary Years Programme. It is where students work collaboratively to explore a local issue that interests them.  This year’s Grade 6s have chosen the following topics to explore:

Terrorism

Elder Abuse/Neglect

Physician-Assisted Dying

Developmental Disabilities

Animal Abuse/Neglect

Immigration

Garbage Pollution

Climate Change

Crime

Some great reasons why you should attend if your child is NOT in Grade 6 include:

·         Supporting and celebrating with the Grade 6s

·         Learning about these issues

·         Being aware of what will be expected of your child when they are in Grade 6

We hope to see you then.

Sincerely,

The Grade 6 Class
