Dear Parents,
Happy Friday and I hope you have a lovely Valentines weekend !
Grade 5 have worked hard this week.
In numeracy we are half way through Division. Most of the class are struggling with the concepts of two-digit division and using compatible numbers to estimate, so instead of moving on we will review this on Monday and Tuesday.
I have two websites on the blog – under the post ‘division practice’, so they can go over simple concepts.
In literacy we are enjoying ‘Tuck Everlasting’ and are starting creative writing.
The Science project is due on 27th February, I have met with each student and made sure they understand what they are to do.
Upcoming Dates –
2nd – 6th March – Reading Week
24th March – FBCS Festival of the Arts
27th March – Math Snap Fair.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce class time –
1. How did you do on your spelling / vocabulary test ? Do you understand what all the words mean ?
2. How could you estimate 152 divided by 30 to make it easier to divide ?
3. What are our water resources in Cayman and how can we protect them ?
Next week we will be in school Monday and Tuesday and then off for mid-term break.
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child !
