Feudal System

Our middle ages lesson focused on the social organization of that time. The children heard about William the Conqueror, the Battle of Hastings, lords, vassals, and serfs.The girls were not pleased to hear about the role of most women during the middle ages.  Ask your child to explain the feudal system to you.
After gym class, the children worked on their spelling words and agendas before attending drama class.
After French, the grade 3s worked on interpreting data from circle graphs in math. The grade 4s drew pictographs by hand.We ended the day working on arithmetic. Students reviewed calendar time concepts such as days in a month, days in a year or leap year and weeks in a year.
Next week, on January 15 at 7 pm, SJA will be hosting an IB information Night for parents. If you would like more information about the IBO, be sure to attend this meeting.
