Earth Day is 22nd April. We are celebrating this day by completing a whole school clean up. We are also learning a bit more about what Earth Day is, how we can look after this beautiful Earth that God has created and completing an Earth Day collage.
GO TEAM FBCS !
A HUGE congratulations to the inter-primary team – including Diondre, Jaden, Oriana and Keya.
They did so well ! FBCS came second place in the small schools division.
We may be a small school but we are strong 🙂
EASTER – Why did Jesus rise again ?

Letter to the Parents – 11th April 2014
Dear Grade 5 Parents,
We have had an enjoyable and educational week in Grade 5 !
The students have been learning about Prime and Composite Numbers, Equivalent fractions and Simplified fractions in numeracy.
In literacy the students have begun group novel studies.
In Science the new unit is ‘Matter and Energy’, we have done an experiment that reflects the structure of matter and learnt about the properties and changing state of matter.
Next week we will continue Terra Nova preparation and compete Easter activities.
School closes at noon on Wednesday 16th April for Easter break. Report cards for the end of the second term will be sent home next week. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend –
1. What would 6/12 be as a simplified fraction ?
2. What is an equivalent fraction for 5/15 ?
3. What are the changing states of water ? Why does it change ?
Have a wonderful Easter break,
Thankyou as always for your cooperation in the education of your child,
Janine Nyyssonen
