Letter to the Parents – 20/1/2017

Dear Parents,

We have been having fun and learning lots in Grade 5 this week.
In literacy we continue on with ‘Tuck Everlasting’ , writing a persuasive essay and using the correct forms of verbs.
In Social Studies the students have studied the Coral Reef and about conserving our marine resources.
The Endangered animal project is due on Monday 30th January.
Don’t forget .. Roll-a-thon next Friday ( 27th Jan ) and Sports Day on the 31st January.  Grade 5 should wear a red top and P.E shorts for Sports Day.
Here are 3 questions you can ask your child over the (long) weekend 🙂
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living forever ? – as the Tucks do.

2. What is a marine resource ? How can we conserve it ?
3. What is your goal for spelling next week ? What grade would you like and how can you get that grade ?
Have a wonderful relaxing long weekend !
