Our first Heritage Fair  took  place on Thursday, February 23/06 in the school gym. All students in grades 4, 5 and 6 participated as these projects were part of an academic requirement. The grade 5 and 6 students were eligible to attend the Provincial Heritage Fair to be held in Charlottetown. Only those selected by a team of judges were able to attend.


February 20-24 is National Heritage Week. Student projects needed to be ready well ahead of time. Each grade 4-6 teacher  judged their own projects for a class mark. The Fair itself  had two sections. In the morning, the judges  reviewed each project. Only those being immediately judged were in the gym. Students were called down as projects were  needed. The judges needed this quiet time to give an accurate score for each project. This should be completed by noon hour. In the afternoon, at 1:00 p.m., grades 1, 2 and 3   viewed all of the projects. Also, parents and/or relatives were able to look at the Fair. Prizes for placements were awarded at about 2:30 p.m.


Students  had an outline as to how they were judged  . Deadlines were given when to decide on a topic to work on.

Some reminders!
