Dear Parents & Guardians,


Tomorrow morning our grade six students will be writing a mock (practice) PAT exam in LA.

They will have time from 8:30 until the end of the day to write two texts.

 The exam task is to create a news report and write a narrative story based on a picture prompt.

Please send them with a healthy snack and a water bottle. 


Upcoming Events:

Picture Day (Spring Pictures) May 17th

Dance Residency - Sounds Kreations May 9-13

Next week during our P.E. time, students will have the opportunity to learn a few dance moves thanks to our 1-week dance residency.  Here is a link to their website.

Below is information about a fundraising campaign for literacy:

If you can spare a few $, I encourage you to participate.

EducationMatters | Loonies for Literacy

Text-to-donate is now live for EducationMatters’ Loonies for Literacy fundraising campaign.

Parents and community supporters can text LITERACY to 30333 and donate $5. To direct your donation to Beddington Heights School, simply text LITERACY followed by the school’s short code: BEDDH

This system-wide fundraising event was initiated to help schools purchase the resources their students need most. Every dollar raised in-school will be matched up to $51k by community partners.

Funds raised throughout the campaign will be used for:

  • Books for school libraries
  • Digital resources such as reading apps and e-books
  • Early learning resources
  • Decodable texts

Parents and community supporters may also use a school’s Loonies for Literacy fundraising page

Green poems count syllables or words. Example of a Limerick: There once was a very big star Who did't know where we are He shone very bright And casted his light But he was away way too far. In social studies, we reviewed the different ways to make decisions.  VOTING - CONSESUS - REPRESENTATION. This will be part of the test on Friday.
