Sir John Moore Community School

Mrs. Moran’s Grade 5/6 class was busy building circuits and learning all about conductors and insulators! ⚡️ Students tested a variety of materials, made predictions, and observed which allowed electricity to flow and which did not. Hands-on learning at its best!

Cold weather didn’t stop the fun at SJM! ❄️ During indoor recess, our students got creative and made the most of their time inside—playing ping pong, crocheting, building fidget spinners, and even dancing! It’s wonderful to see their imagination, teamwork, and positive energy shining, even when the weather keeps us indoors. 😊

Mme Brydges and Mr Findlay’s grade 6/7FI class was fortunate to learn how to create healthy breakfast choices. They collaborated together to make breakfast burritos! A big thank you to OSNP and President’s Choice along with the You’re the Chef program through Lambton Public Health for making this possible!

🌟 A Big Thank You to Mrs. Griffiths!🌟 Today our Grade 8 English-stream students had a fantastic visit from Mrs. Griffiths, Guidance Counsellor at Great Lakes Secondary School. She spent time walking them through what to expect in high school next year, including course options, timetables, available supports, school life, and the many ways to get involved. Our students especially enjoyed learning about the different clubs and activities they can join as they take this exciting next step. Thank you, Mrs. Griffiths, for helping our future Grade 9s feel informed, confident, and excited about what’s ahead! 🎓✨

Boler Part 2! ⛷️

Our Grade 6–8 students had an amazing day at Boler Mountain enjoying skiing and tubing! ⛷️❄️ From carving down the hills to racing down the tubing runs, students showed enthusiasm, teamwork, and plenty of smiles all day long. It was wonderful to see everyone challenging themselves and having so much fun outdoors. A huge thank you to Mrs. Clarke for organizing such a fantastic trip and making this memorable experience possible for our students. What a great day!
