A collection of moments from our Grade 7 learning community
Hello Grade 7s (and parents/guardians),
This is an important reminder that our YPC (Young People’s Concert) is scheduled for tomorrow morning! Please ensure that you arrive to school on time or even a few minutes early tomorrow (Tuesday)!
Our bus leaves at 9:00AM sharp. Any students who arrive late (or do not have permission) will be given an alternative assignment and be placed in another class for the morning.
Thanks kindly,
Ms. Ward

Hello to our parents, guardians, and families!
A reminder that we will be hosting another virtual meeting tonight (6:30 PM) for any and all Grade 7 parents that are interested in lending a hand with our Grade 7 fundraising and events! During this meeting, our Grade 7 Committee will be sharing their ideas and asking for help with specific tasks. We will also be going through the results of our Grade 7 student survey with their ideas about events + celebrations.
Looking forward to connecting with some of you (over the computer) tonight!
-Ms. Ward
Ms. Pontalti will be away tomorrow, so band will be cancelled until next week. You do not need to bring your instruments to school tomorrow.
Thanks!

Our analysis of Cartoon Network’s mini-series Over the Garden Wall has come to an end! Throughout this month, we have been exploring: important characters, clues and symbols, changes in settings, and key plot events. We also began analyzing the musical soundtrack for different tones, themes, and lyrics. Now, our classes are crafting our own theories about some unanswered questions within the show!
Our Grade 7s put their baking skills into practice this week by creating mini pumpkin pies! Students had to read through the recipe, measure accurately, work collaboratively, and clean-up afterwards. We learned about the origins of pumpkin spice (which usually includes a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice). For some of us, this was our first time trying this seasonal dessert! If you want to make the recipe at home, click the link below:
Hey, Grade 7s! Don’t forget to practice the first 1:30 of this song to get ready for our performance on October 31st!
Welcome (back) to our Grade 7 students! I am so excited to have the opportunity to teach you (and learn from you) this year. Whether you are returning to Room 22, coming from a different classroom, or are new to Lochdale School, I hope that you feel welcomed into our class community!
Some important information for this week:
I’ll be updating our class blog with more information later this week!

Our class is exploring the many factors that may have influenced the Titanic disaster! We are exploring photos, videos, eye-witness accounts, and analyses to try and determine who (or what) is responsible for the sinking of the so-called ‘unsinkable’ ship! We will be focusing on identifying possible biases and crafting our own theories supported by evidence.
Please see below for what we have learned so far:
