City Champs!!!
Congratulations to the Taylor Senior Girls' Basketball team for winning the city championships yesterday at Herman High School. After 4 hard-fought quarters, Taylor nipped Eastwood at the buzzer on a last second shot by Haiden E. with 3.9 seconds left on the clock.
Final score, Taylor 25, Eastwood 24.
Chloe G. from 6/7M rebounded and passed the ball to Haiden for the winning shot.
"I jumped for joy and jumped on Haiden when the ball went in," states Chloe, with a huge grin on her face. "I couldn't believe it."
"I was almost out of hope at the end, but that shot went in and I screamed and jumped up and down. I was shocked," states Dina C. from 6/7M.
Great game girls!

6/7M Host Taylor's Black History Month Assembly
On Wednesday morning, 6/7M acted as host for Taylor's Black History Month Assemby.
Julie and Moe were excellent and professional MC's. Dina read a statement about Black History Month from Prime Minister Stephan Harper. Mrs. Bacon's class beautifully sang, "We're Different". Rebecca articulately read a brief history of Africville, a historically significant Nova Scotian town with African-Canadian roots. Tariq eloquently read a poem about Africville to complement Rebecca's brief history.
To conclude our assembly, we did an augmented reality presentation using the APP "Aurasma", to present brief Bios on significant African-Canadians, including our very own Mrs. Laforet, who is our school board's first African-Canadian, female administrator.
All in all, 6/7M did a magnificent job preparing for and hosting our assembly. Great job guys!

Friendly Letters
Last week, the Grade 6 and Grade 7's learned how to write friendly letters, using figurative language, transition words and conjunctives. The voice of the letter had to fit the audience.
Here are a few sample letters:
Dear Mr. McNeil,
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN HOW MUCH FUN I HAD IN U.A.E.! I went swimming, played on my Wii U, stared at the biggest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa and much more! And the weather...MAN! It was as hot as a pepper! It was over 50 degrees C! And, I had to fast in that temperature. When we were done fasting, we celebrated our favourite celebration, Eid! I earned money, opened my new console and went to a hotel!
After a few days, we went to the Dubai Mall! They gave us samples of perfumes, ate lunch and admired the aquarium! After that, we went outside sipping tea and watching the Water Show. Finally, we went back home and went to sleep.
I hope I can show you the pics I took there!
Your student,
Tariq

Dear Mr. Matt Cruse,
How have you been?! I am writing to you so I can congratulate you on getting on Star Climber. It is astounding ship, yes? I hope the food they will be feeding you is better than anything these numskulls are making. Imbeciles! They don't know how to make a decent plate of food. I am still working in the restaurant you last saw me at, and the food these hooligans make is as sickening as a puking molerat.
Let me tell you my boy, when I saw your name in the newspaper saying that you were going on Star Climber, I was happy as a frog with a million flies.
I have to go, I don't know what these numskulls just blew up!!!
Write back soon! Sincerely,
Chef Vlad

Dear Tariq,
How are you doing buddy? Me, not so well. I feel like an animal getting woken up in the middle of hibernation. I got the stomach flu! I kept sleeping until noon. Fortunately, I had a boiling, tasty, scrumptious bowl of soup; it was the only thing I had all day!
How was school while I was gone? Did I miss anything important? Homework? A new assignment? I hope I didn't because I'll be like a turtle behind a cheetah in class and that won't be good.
Wishing I get better, yet having time off is cool. See ya tomorrow!
Your friend,
Moe

-“Buy organic foods because they are not sprayed with pesticides” Julie H.
-“When exercising you should drink water to stay hydrated” Kassie J.
-“Consider this: Every year people die from being inactive” Jordan K.
-“In sports, always keep your head up to avoid injury” Ryan P.
-“It might be a good idea to eat a lot of healthy food, but sometimes you need to treat yourself and have cheat days” Tayvin S.
-“Go for a walk everyday, watch what you eat and you will stay fit” Taliya W.
-“If you’re hungry and in a hurry and you don’t want to eat in fast food restaurants, you can always go home and eat leftovers” Tariq
