Letter to the Parents – 27/03/2015

Dear Parents,

Well, we made it to the end of another fun and busy week in grade 5!
 I was so proud of the Grade 5’s – every student entered the Arts Festival – either with a music piece, an art piece or by reciting a poem. They all did so well !
( They deserve a treat this weekend 🙂
We started a new short unit on Measurement in Numeracy. In literacy we are continuing on with grammar skills – reviewing for the Terra Nova tests, and also with comprehension in Storytown. After Easter we will begin our third novel study.
On Thursday 2nd April the school will have an Easter Egg Hunt, please provide 5 empty plastic eggs by Tuesday. PTF will be providing the treats to go inside.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce our class time –
1. Evaluate – 36oz = ___ lb
2.What is an example of a proper adjective ?
3. How does Tourism benefit the Cayman Islands ?
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child,
Have a wonderful weekend !

Letter to the Parents – 13/03/2015

Dear Parents,

Another fun week in Grade 5 !
I have put photos of Reading Week and Sports Day on the blog if you would like to check them out !
We have started Algebra in Numeracy, the students are going to stick a list of learning goals in to their Math books on Monday, so you will be able to see exactly what we cover in this chapter. The students then have a list of things to revise when it is test time.
In literacy we are back to Storytown, as well as working on their Tuck Everlasting projects. The projects are due on the 23rd March, but anyone that wants to enter the George Town Library reading competition can bring in their project by the 19th. For this project they have received a list with a lot of ideas and they are to choose some of the options – enough to make 10 points.
Next week we will be preparing for the Math Snap Fair and starting to review concepts for the Terra Nova tests at the end of April.
Have a wonderful weekend !

Reading Week – Day 3 & 4

For Reading Week Day 3 we studied the Bible. We completed class devotions, watched an online Bible story and discussed and made a great prayer book – which the students took home to use.
