Letter to the Parents – 23/1/2015

Dear Parents,
Grade 5 have worked hard this week.
They have completed a unit of Science and next week will review the scientific method and begin a Science project.
In literacy the theme was cooking and the class enjoyed acting out a short story on Monday. Next week we will begin our class novel – ‘Tuck Everlasting’.
In numeracy we continue on with multiplication – multiplying up to 3-digit numbers by a 2-digit number.
The Roll-a-thon is 30th January. Come out and enjoy this fun fundraiser !
FBCS Open House is on 2nd February. Each class will have a booth set up in the gym, this is a good time to visit the Grade 6 booth and see what they will be doing next year.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce our class time.
1. Show how you would multiply  345
                                                   x  25
2. What things can cause damage to the Coral Reef ?
3. What is expository non-fiction ?
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child.
