Grade 6
Identity and Truth by Miss Angie Lee Whew! This term was quite a whirlwind of events for grade 6! We had our Who We Are unit in which we explored different developmental stages starting from conception into puberty, and explored the various factors that shape and influence our identity. We wrote autobiographies for English class and had an Identity showcase for our UOI summative, in which we were allowed to use any creative medium to represent who we are!
We also had our Grade 6 Virtual Retreat and enjoyed two days of learning about the truth that we believe in with Mr. Geoff who joined us from Australia! We were in Teams for various small group activities as well as competitive games, so we came up with a team name, cheer and flag to represent our groups! Here are some reflections from some of our Grade 6 students.
“A comment I have for the teachers and Mr. Geoff especially, is that they put the time and effort into teaching us a lot about God. Especially Mr. Geoff who took the time to teach and set up this learning session. Overall, I would like to thank Mr. Geoff and every other teacher who was responsible for organizing and teaching us during our 2 day retreat.”
“The thing that was most helpful about the messages are that I could understand more about Truth, Trivia, and the true Truth. A lot of my questions were answered.”
“Everything was fun, especially the ice breakers, and I learned a lot during the lessons. I look forward to the next retreat, and wonder what it would be like if it were offline.”
“The thing that was most helpful about the message was that it inspired me to be more faithful to God and it reassured me that since God is with me, everything will be fine.”
