Dear Parents,
Another interesting week in Grade 5 ! The students are progressing through ‘Tuck Everlasting’, and getting used to the new style of spelling test, that includes spelling and vocabulary every Friday. Some students still need to remember to study the meanings of the words as well as how they are spelled.
In numeracy the students completed a mid-chapter check for Algebraic Expressions.
All science lessons this week were dedicated to working on their projects in pairs, they will also have some class time next week for this.
Information will be sent home soon from the office about Reading Week ( 17 – 21st Feb.). We have partnered with Books and Books to create a Cayman / Caribbean reading list of books. If anyone wants to go purchase a book from this list, Books and Books will provide 15% discount.
We had a WONDERFUL time at the String Fever concert on Wednesday, what a talented group !
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce class time –
1. What did you complete this week for your Science project ? What do you still need to complete ?
2. What are the main themes of Tuck Everlasting so far ? Who is your favourite character and why ?
3. What is the answer to 7t (if t equals 4 ) ?
Thank you as always for your continued cooperation in the education of your child,
Janine
