Student/Parent/Teacher Conferences

We tried something different in Grade 5 for our parent meetings this term and it worked really well !

The students led the conference by showing their parent their portfolios and explaining what they would like to improve in this term. They finished by telling their parent all the things they are proud of for term 2.

We have a lot to be proud of ! Nicely done Grade 5 !

Letter to the Parents 17/04/2015

Dear Parents,
It has been a busy week in Grade 5 as we get back in to the swing of things after the Easter Break.
The students have been reviewing Math, Science and Literacy concepts as practice for the upcoming Terra Nova tests.
We have also started a new novel – ‘Out of My Mind’ – if you want to read about the book and watch the author introduction check out www.sharondraper.com
We are completing the Measurement unit today in math, and will begin fractions next week.
I have really enjoyed the student/teacher/parent meetings this week and love watching the students talk about all they have accomplished so far ! We are celebrating Term 1 and 2 !
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend, to reinforce class time –
1. Describe Melody ( the main character in ‘Out of My Mind’ ).
2. If you finish school at 2.30pm, and begin at 8.15am – what is the elapsed time ?
3. What is the difference between a ‘right’ and a ‘responsibility’ ?
Have a great weekend !
