This past week, Lycée students took part in the global movement Hour of Code TM .

Ask your child to tell you about their new coding skills.

Feel free to explore the Hour of Code TM site with your child, they might even teach you something! 
See below for what some of our students did in class.
Grade 11's used coding games like Quorum Master to create graphical maps of the solar system. Other games teach students how to write in Javascript and create their own app.
FLIP students did an "un-plugged" Hour of Code activity, creating a maze on the floor of their classroom and working together using arrow cards to make their way through it.
CE1A and a MSC classes teamed up and used arrow cards to "code" their way through different mazes before trying it with the robotic mouse.
Using iPads, our MSB students practiced their "Drag and Drops" in class.
Grade 3, 4 & 5 students were grinning as they learned new coding skills - they had a blast during their Hour of Code. Stay tuned for more photos next week.
Do you remember the school-wide coding project that celebrated Canada's 150th birthday?

The Grade 6 class recently completed a novel study  El Deafo  – a graphic novel that depicts the childhood and adolescence of Cece Bell who dealt with hearing loss at a young age. To enrich their experience, teacher Nicole Pereversoff contacted Deaf & Hear Alberta to arrange for a guest speaker to come and talk to the students about deaf culture. Cindy and her interpreter, Angela,  of Deaf & Hear Alberta, visited the school and provided an interactive workshop for the students. 
The grade 6s learned all about the different technologies and accommodations that members of the deaf community use to communicate, such as sign language Interpreters, real-time captioning, and teletyping devices. Cindy also brought examples of hearing aids that have been used over the past 25 years. 
The session ended with students learning to sign the alphabet, thank-you, and applause.

In recognition of Bilingual Celebration Week, our Grade 5 students decided to focus on Internet Literacy.


In French, students are creating a poster on one of 3 topics: how the internet works, internet dangers, and internet in the world. In English Language Arts, students are learning about fake news and tips on how to identify it .

Be sure to check out their hard work on display outside room 5.

On December 12, 2017 at 1:15 the Lycée will engage in a  Lockdown Drill.  

We are using this opportunity to train our students and staff to execute the Lockdown Drill properly with the help of the Calgary Police Service.

We encourage you to engage in a dialogue with your child regarding this drill so that they are familiar with the procedure. 

Please remind your child of the 3 Lockdown Rules:

1 - Remain silent
2 - Listen to the teacher
3 - Remain calm

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

If you have any questions, please email  bureau@lycee.ca .
