Hello Parents and students,
Thank you to all the parents who came out to the Math tutorial night on rounding numbers. I strongly believe that together, we can help our kids achieve the levels of success that will help them grow continually.
We completed rounding and here is a summary of they should know at this level.
Round to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000 for numbers up to 9,999. There will be a number of formative assessments next week followed by a summative test on Monday 7 October, 2019.
In Science we looked at the relationships between plants and animals via a food chains. It is important that students know the meaning of the following words:
producer, consumer, herbivore, carnivore, decomposer, predator and prey.
Being able to identify these in a food chain will show understanding of the parts of the food chain.
Please use this link for further revision with your child if needed.

Information from Ms. Benjamin can be seen below:
Social Studies
- This week the students will be sharing their individual Social Studies project. They will also continue exploring the wonders of our amazing world by looking into the various cultures that are present in the Cayman Islands.
Literacy
- The student will be using root words, affixes, synonyms, and antonyms to determine the meaning of new words, in spelling for the next few weeks. In reading, the students will be comparing and contrasting settings, characters and plots, along with creating book summaries.
Note: Please encourage the students to read at least 15 minute a day at home. They would also be completing their first expository piece. There will be a grammar test on the 5th of October.
Feel free to email with any concerns or questions. Have a wonderful week.
