Dear Parents,

Thank you so much for your cooperation during this week, the students worked very well for Ms Cilliers on Tuesday and for Mr Smith on Thursday. REMINDER - if your child does not copy the homework down from the board, please check the website.

Students are required to write homework down each day and to ask a parent to sign the agenda each evening. This will give us an extra place to communicate as we partner together in the education of your child.

Questions to ask this weekend -

1. How many tenths make a whole one ? How many hundredths make a tenth ? What do you need to remember when adding / subtracting decimals ?

2. What did Sam Gribley do in order to find himself a baby falcon in the book ‘My Side of the Mountain’?

3. Christopher Columbus sailed to Cayman in 1503, which other places did he explore on other voyages ? 

Have a wonderful weekend !

Dear Parents,

We had a fun trip to the library today. The students had a tour and enjoyed finding their way around the various books. Library cards are available to pick up anytime after tomorrow ( 1st Oct.)

All students turned in their biography projects today and I was so impressed by their efforts and creativity with the displays. WELL DONE GRADE 5 !

Questions to ask your child -

1. What is the most interesting fact you learned about your chosen ‘remarkable person’ ? Which other person’s project did you like and why ?

2.  What are two ways you could round this number - 108.56 ( 100 and 109 )

3. What happened in the story ‘Chang and the Bamboo flute’ ?

Have a great weekend !
