In class, we have discussed ways to study for the spelling test:

-Read the words and sentences out loud.

-Ask your parents to read the words and sentences out loud & write or dictate.

Have Fun!

Vimy presentation

Dear Parents/Guardians,


Your child had the opportunity recently to be a part of a presentation on the Battle of Vimy Ridge. A former SMY student had a wonderful experience being a tour guide for 4 months in Vimy. She discussed her experience as well as the history of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.


Your child has participated in decorating a yellow ribbon by indicating the soldier`s name, rank, date of birth & death and where they lived. (The students who were absent today, will get a chance to decorate a ribbon tomorrow). Your child also wrote a message thanking the soldier who fought for our country.


On Saturday, April 1st at 9:30 a.m. over 200 high school students will be participating in the pilgrimage to Vimy Ridge, France and will also be tying 3598 yellow ribbons to The Vimy Memorial Bridge in Nepean (where Earl Armstrong turns into Strandherd at Prince of Wales Dr., Nepean). This will provide our city with a visual representation of the number of soldiers who died at Vimy Ridge for our freedom. Your child is welcome to attend The Ribbon Tying Event, but he/ she MUST be accompanied by at least one parent or legal guardian, as it is very close to busy roads.


Thank you for your support and consideration. We are very proud of our students.

LANGUAGE ARTS: 'Recount'
-Below, is a template that your child will be using to help him/her write a recount.  If you wish to help your child, have your child recount his/her weekend or an event that took place, using this format.

-We will be using the verb tense:  'Passé composé' et 'l'imparfait'.
