Dear Parents,
I hope you have a had a good 4 day work week. We have managed to accomplish lots in Grade 5 !
Today is the Roll-a-thon 3pm until 5.30pm, hope to see you there.
On Monday is the FBCS Open House , we will start in Chapel at 5.30pm then after a brief presentation, go in to the gym to look round the classroom booths, come visit the Grade 5 booth, then go check out the Grade 6 booth to see materials your child will use next year !
We have started our new novel ‘Tuck Everlasting’ in literacy.
In numeracy as we finish Chapter 3 , the students will have a Math test next Tuesday ( 3rd Feb. )
Next week Friday ( 6th Feb ) we will be going to the Botanic Park to continue our study of the local flora and fauna.
 Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce class learning –
1. How would you estimate $6.84 x 7 to find the product ?
2. What is the Scientific Method and what are you doing for your Science project ?
3. What is the past tense of ‘ring’ and what is the past tense with a helping verb ?
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child.
