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
