Geo Presentations @ RH McGregor

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday November 1st 2017, 8 FI A will be going to RH McGregor E.S. to present their Geography Guided Inquiry Project, about sustainability in East York, to the grade 5 French Immersion classes. We will be leaving Cosburn @ 12:40 P.M., and starting our presentations at 12:55 until approximately 1:55 P.M.

Once we are finished, we will do DPA outside, depending on the weather, and then returning to Cosburn.

Thank you

Walking Excursion Trip

            

On  Friday October 13th we will visit the Cosburn Art Centre to view the Pop up Museum display at 2:00 PM. The classes will visit the display in 40 min blocks from 9:30 am til 2:30 pm. The students will be accompanied by staff and have a short visit to view displays provided by East York Historical Society,  Ekfrassi "Gramma's Treasure Box", East End United Regional Ministry, East York "Then and Now" Photo exhibit of Photographer George Dunbar.

The entrance point is 1108 Greenwood (double glass doors). October 14th is the actual special event with all exhibits open and the reveal of the Photo Wall will occur at 3pm.  It is hoped that the wall will travel around EY schools and the Civic Centre in the coming months.

Our students will get a sneak peak of all this Oct 13.

This is during our art period, therefore students will get a makeup art period this afternoon.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
