Grade 6 Curling Adventures


Grade 6 Curling Adventures
By Renz
Grade 6 went a curling adventure thanks to the PAUW foundation. Curling was fun everyone was a really good sport and everyone loved it. We went curling 4 times and then we went to the tournament this past Wednesday.  I learned how to curl and I learned a lot from curling even  how much it costs to upkeep the curling rink. Well I think I   got the hang of it. I learned how to slide and push a really heavy rock all the way down to the button. I am glad we got to go curling because now I enjoy it instead of thinking it is boring.

Welcome to 6M!

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),                                                                                      I am very excited to begin the 2017 – 2018! We will be doing many exciting lessons and inquiry projects that will engage all students in their learning.

As partners, we share the responsibility for your child’s success and I want you to know that I will do my very best to help your child reach their full potential.

Building a Model By Erin        Almost every science period Sandra Becker from the university from Calgary  comes to our class to do research, then we go to the makerspace lab to work on our models. Our models are a deep thinking question about sky science that we did research on, to eventually start building a model to show the answer to our question. Some of our questions changed after doing some research. We have to use flexible thinking because maybe the model that we had in mind doesn't work, so we have to change it to make it work. At the end of every work period we write in our log books. We use the log book because it shows our thinking throughout the process of making our models.         My question is, why is there microgravity in space? My question has changed after doing some research. It is now why do planets orbit. This relates back to my original question because the answer is because of the sun's gravity. My model is the moon, the sun and earth. Ea

Hello parents and students of 6M! My name is Natalie Major and this will be my second year teaching Grade 6 at BES. I have been in the Canadian Rockies School Division since 2013.  In 2012 I visited Canmore from Ontario and fell in love with the mountains instantly. The following year I made the move permanently to start my life in the beautiful Bow Valley. I love the active lifestyle that the Rockies has and feel very grateful that I can share my passion  for learning with the Banff community.  I will be using this blog to post updates, assignments and reminders on a regular basis. Please feel free to stop by our room or contact me via email at natalie.major@crps.ca if you have any questions. We will also be using Twitter as a means to open communication between school and home. Please follow us at missmajor9. You will be able to see what your child is doing on a daily basis.  I am looking forward to spending a wonderful 2016-2017 school year watching your child reach
