Friday, June 26th, Day 6

Good morning everyone!

Wasn’t your graduation assembly marvelous? You blew me away with your speech. You all contributed such wonderful ideas. Thanks to the editing team for finalising the ideas. Speech presenters, you were awesome. Thanks to Ms. Jaskolka for practicing with you guys. Great job!

Remember to take time to explore the SJA Imaginarium if you haven’t already done so, or if you have, do it again.

Today is the last bit of work we will do this year. We have two guest speakers visiting for our fascinating space unit. If there is time after our guest speakers are done, we will continue working on our sun and moon art  You will also have your last French class with Mme. Stella.

We then have some fun happening today with fun awards and finally we end the day with the HOUSE CUP ASSEMBLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
