Letter to the Parents – 13/11/2015

Dear Parents,

We have had fun, busy 4 day week in Grade 5 🙂
In literacy we have almost finished our Global Read Aloud novel and have been inspired by the setting to write our own stories. The students have been writing their own creative story – I would like them to finish their story over the weekend.
In numeracy we have almost completed the unit on Data and have been looking at line graphs and choosing the appropriate graphs. They will complete the Unit test on Thursday 19th November.
We started a new unit on Matter in Science. The students have a Science project to complete by the end of the month. They will be making their own paper and comparing the strengths of paper – they will be graded on how they can use the Scientific Method – so we will be reviewing this in class.
Don’t forget –
Scholastic order forms are due on Monday ( 16th Nov )
and
If you want to take a family Christmas picture PTF are running a fundraiser photo shoot tomorrow ( 14th Nov ) between 9am and 1.30pm.       

Have a wonderful weekend,
Watch out for the Pirates 🙂
