Friday

This Friday, we are planning to have a Christmas party in the afternoon.  Miss Kopperud is away but Mr. Thiessen is filling in for her.  There will be a movie shown in Mr. Letkeman's room and Miss Kopperud's room. The movies shown have yet to be determined.  We will let you know when we find out.   In Mr. Baetz's room, there will be a games time in which the students can play board games or Table Tennis.

Also,  the students can bring snacks and drinks for the afternoon.  They have requested to  wear pajamas as well.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Secret Santa

Hi,

We have drawn names for the "Secret Santa".  The idea is so that the students will give gifts secretly and on Friday we will have a time in which they will guess who has been giving them gifts.  The gifts can be daily or it can be one day.  It is for fun.

Also,  thanks for all the parents who came to the chapel!  We hope you were blessed from the message.

Bible Books Test on Wednesday For CE

SCS Grade 5-6 Poinsettia Fundraiser

Our November fundraiser for our trip to Kinasao will be selling 6.5” poinsettias for Christmas (provided by Floral Acres)! Each poinsettia is $17.00 and they come in the following colors: red, white, pink and ice crystal. Poinsettias are a great holiday flower that many people buy to decorate their home/office/church for Christmas…so why not buy from us? J

We will be selling poinsettias all through November. Order forms and money will be due on Monday, November 16^th. Please collect payment for poinsettias you sell and then write ONE cheque to SCS for the total amount. The flowers will be delivered to our school on Thursday, November 26^th. Families are responsible to pick up any flowers they sell and deliver them to whomever they belong to.

Our profit is quite significant on this fundraiser (approximately $6 per poinsettia) so we encourage you to sell as many as you can! Thank you for working hard to raise the funds for an awesome yearend trip!

**More information and order forms were sent home with your child today. Please make sure these come out of backpacks J

Social Study Notes for for Test. Grade 5/6 Test October 29; Grade 6 Test November 2

Study Notes for Social Test

The beliefs, customs, practices and behaviours of a particular nation or group of people make up its culture. All people have the same basic needs,  such as food, water, clothing, and shelter.

Culture – a learned way of living including language, beliefs, arts, sports, and foods that is shared by a group of people

The most dominant religions of West and Central Africa is Islam and Christianity

People in West and Central Africa enjoy both traditional dance and modern dance. Modern music reflect traditional rhythms and styles.  The Ashanti people of Ghana weave a cloth called kente which is made of bright narrow strips in complex patterns.  In West Africa, music is used to entertain but also to teach,  tell stories, and record history.

The most popular sport in West and Central Africa is soccer.

First Nations peoples have unique and diverse cultures and languages.  The Metis and Inuit also contribute to Canada’s cultural identity.  Other cultures have come to Canada from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and South America.

The Two most popular religions in Canada are Roman Catholic and Protestant (2001)

Music in Canada often reflects cultural heritage and can be used to promote cultural traditions.

Trade – the exchange of buying and selling of good and services in a market.

Sometimes cultures change very quickly.  For some people this can be frightening.  They worry that their culture may disappear.

Cultures spread in many ways including settlement, trade, technology, migration and communication. 

Saskatchewan is a multicultural province.

Culture, society and family are all related. A society is a group of people who have organized themselves to meet their basic needs.  Societies can be large or small. 

A social structure is a pattern of organized relationships among groups of people within a society.  People interact with one another, with groups, and with institutions.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms protect the rights of all Canadians.  Rights such as Equality Rights, Democratic Rights and Religious Rights are examples

A reserve is land set aside for the occupation and use of First Nations in exchange for giving up claim to their traditional territories; title to the land remains with the federal government

Colonize is to establish settlements in another country in which the colonizing country controls the people and resources of the colonized country; can also apply to the control of a group of people within a country by government policies.

European Colonization in Africa:

European nations wanted colonies to 1. Gain dominance 2. To get natural resources 3. As markets for goods made in factories.

Europeans acquired colonies in 1884 Europeans met and divided up Africa among themselves.  No African leaders took part.  Before long, Europe controlled nearly the entire continent.

The effects of the Colonial powers affected African peoples by ignoring the location of ethnic groups when creating borders, by not developing colonial economies beyond their own aims, and by enslaving and assimilating Africans.

Study Notes for Health Test October 26

Study notes for Health

The nervous system makes sure all the different systems in the body work together.  When the systems are working correctly, your body is in balance.  This balance is called homeostasis. 

Your nervous system is responsible for maintaining your consciousness, keeping you alert and aware, responding to things, coordinate what you sense or feel using your ears, eyes, nose, skin and tongue. 

The nervous system is divided into 2 parts.  The central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system.  The CNS is made up of the brain and the spinal cord.

The brain is protected by the skull.  The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae in your spine.

Peripheral mean “outside”.

The peripheral nervous system is all the other nerves in your body including 12 pairs of cranial nerves coming from your head and 31 pairs of spinal nerves coming from your backbone.

The autonomic nervous system are the nerves that are responsible for the involuntary muscles.

Neurons are special cells and are part of the nervous system.

Dendrite receive messages and carry them to the nucleus in the center of the cell.

Axon carry messages away from the center of the cell towards other cells.

Sensory neurons are cells that gathers information and sends it to your brain or to your spinal cord.  

The empty space between cells is called a synapse.

The main organ of the nervous system is the brain.  The brain is divided into 3 areas.  Cerebrum, cerebellum and the brain stem.

Cerebrum controls all conscious body movements and interprets the information gathered by senses. It is divided into to halves or hemispheres.

Left side of brain – controls ability to speak, us math and think logically.

Right side of brain – controls musical ability artistic skills and emotions.

Cerebellum controls the voluntary muscles and makes sure they are smooth and coordinated. It also controls balance and muscle tone.

Brain stem connects your brain with your spinal cord. It controls the automatic body processes such as heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure.

A quick reaction is called a reflex.
