Letter to the Parents – 24/10/2014

Dear Parents,
I hope you are having a great Friday and are looking forward to mid-term break !
In literacy this week the students have enjoyed skyping with a class in California and having a video made about the Global Read Aloud programme. I will put the link to the video and news article on the blog so you can watch with your child.
In numeracy the students have been studying mean, median and mode. We started a new chapter on Data.
I have sent home a permission slip today with your child for our field trip on Tuesday 4th November. We will be going to the Mission House and the Botanic Park. I need one parent to accompany us that is able to take 4 students in their car, please let me know if you are able to join us. In Social Studies we have been learning about early settler life, so at the Mission House we can see what education was like in Cayman ,and see the Caymanian house and garden at the Botanic Park.
Please ask your child the following questions to reinforce our learning time –
1. What is the mean, median and mode of the following numbers – 12, 14, 16, 20, 26 ?
2. Where do you put the apostrophe when writing a plural possessive noun ?
3. What does atonement mean ?
Thank you as always for your help.
I will look forward to seeing the students back in class on Monday 3rd November
