 Remembrance Day Assembly
Today our class participated in the remembrance day assembly in the school gym. We preformed 2 songs called Traveling Soldier, and Highway of Heroes. We had Jeanette playing the violin, Mr. Murphy playing the guitar, Matt playing the bass, and Logan playing the ukelele. Sophie and Emma were singing Traveling Soldier and then we all joined in for certain parts of the song, also we all sang together for Highway of Heroes. Mrs. Simpson' s class read a poem called Flanders Field before before we preformed. At the end of the assembly we all bowed our heads and left. Before the assembly we all typed a writing assignment about why peace is important and also a illustration describing one of the two songs.We had a great experience learning about remembrance day and we had a great time preforming the songs. A video of our class preforming is also on the blog be sure to check it out! LEST WE FORGET!<3

Someone Special

                                                   Someone Special

              There was a guy, he ran across Canada with cancer to raise money for cancer research. He was in pain most of the time. He was very inspiring, his name is Terry Fox. He had a wish to find a cure for cancer research. One day he had a pain in his knee and when he woke up the pain was unbearable, so he was taken to a hospital. He found out he had cancer and he would have to get his leg remouved but the he realized that there are kids that are younger and the same age as him that have cancer too and some had died from it too. Terry Fox started his run in the east coast with his friend Doug and his brother Darell driving behind him. He raised lots of money for cancer research, but when he got to Quebec nobody knew what was going on, he ran on the road and people even tried to run him off the road. Terry fox ran 10 miles then took a break then he ran 12 miles then took a break. After just a week he had ran many miles. Terry Fox's story is very inspiring and touching story. That is why he is one of my heros.

Bullying Lesson

This week in language class we did a lesson on bullying  that included  a bullying video, a discussion on the video, we talked about the types of bullying: verbal, cyber, physical, threatening, exclusion, and name calling and teasing, and we had to make a bullying poster.
 The bullying video showed us types of bullies and it showed us ways to solve bullying.
In our discussion we talked more about why bullying happens and how it is solved in different schools everywhere.
Mr. Murphy showed us a website  http://www.canadiansafeschools.com/students/types.htm     It is a great resource for parents,students and teachers.
Our assignment was to make a bullying poster; we needed to include a bullying slogan such as "Say No To Bullying"  or "You Have The Power Of One". we also needed to include a picture in our poster.
I thought it was interesting to learn more about bullying and strategies to prevent and deal with bullying.

Dear Parents/ Guardians

It has been an exciting first week of school.  I am very pleased with the students’ attitudes and efforts.

Our class will keep an up to date blog which can be found by going to the Sir John A. Macdonald website and clicking on the Mr. Murphy 6/5 class blog link. http://edu.hpedsb.on.ca/sjohn/

The students will maintain the blog on a regular basis.  There will be samples of student work, articles written by students on various subjects and assignments.

I will post important dates and the student’s agenda on a daily basis.

We have a diverse group of students: culturally, creatively, athletically, artistically and academically, leading to great learning opportunities.

Our class set of agendas have been ordered and should arrive soon.

If you have any questions please contact me through your child’s agenda, or by e-mail: jmmurphy@hpedsb.on.ca

Sincerely

Mr. J Murphy
