In health class we are currently studying relationships and abuse. We watched the film “A Love that Kills” (a true story about a young girl who was the victim of domestic abuse) and have seen how abuse can take on may forms. We have studied the different kinds of abuse (physical, psychological and sexual) and have had some great class discussions. The students have not had any assignments/tests/projects yet but they will soon receive their first assignment.

In social studes in grade 8, we have been revising the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and are starting our study of the Middle Ages. The students have not had any projects/assignments/tests as of yet, but will soon be receiving their first assignment.

Will be having our first test in Grade 9 Science on Monday September 27th. The students have been learning about science safety and the physical and chemical properties of substances. I have gone over the topics that they should be studying and we will be reviewing in class later on this week.

Here are a few ideas:

1. 1.1 (pages 14-15) Les produits chimiques et sécurité: Les symboles de mise en garde

2. 1.2 (pages 16-19) et 1.3 (pages 20-21) Les propriétés de la matière: les propriétes physiques et chimiques

3. 1.7 (pages 28-29) Les transformations physiques et les réactions chimiques

Bonne chance 9C!  I know you will all do great 🙂
