Letter to the Parents – 26/2/2016

We have had a fun and productive week in Grade 5.

In numeracy the students began a Chapter on Algebraic Expressions. I would also like all students to be reviewing their times tables. We will have a times table test each week starting next week.
In literacy they have been busy planning and working on their Tuck Everlasting book projects. They are able to choose different activities to complete about the novel – some involve art, some involve writing, some involve acting / speaking. Please make sure they show you the directions for this. THIS IS DUE 11th MARCH.
Make sure to please check the Grade 5 blog each week ( there is a link at the end of this email ) – the homework and the Wonder of the Week will be on there.
Thanks so much Ms Melanie for being a great help with the class during Sports Day !
Have a great weekend ( and if you are up bright and early tomorrow don’t forget to stop by the school gym to support the fundraiser sale and breakfast for Ms Meg.)

Wonder Wednesday !

I wonder…….

Here at FBCS we are striving to create an environment where the students feel open to explore, to learn , to wonder ..

To go along with this in Grade 5 we are asking lots of questions … and finding out information and answers to those questions. Does your child ask you a lot of questions ??? That is a great thing, it shows a mind open to learn, a mind full of curiosity.

Check out www.wonderopolis.org at home with your child … and wonder together.

Wonder of the Week ……..

Letter to the Parents – 5/2/2016

Dear Grade 5 Parents,

We have had a fun and productive week in Grade 5. In literacy we have been studying our class novel – Tuck Everlasting. It is important for the next few weeks the students study , not only how to spell their spelling words, but also what they mean.
In numeracy we are working on division. They are doing really well tackling the , always dreaded, double digit division 🙂
Over mid term break your child should please complete the following –
Math page on division
Read Chapter 19 & 20 of Tuck Everlasting and write a summary.
The language Terra Nova study packet.
On Friday 19th January we are having Sports Day at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex – the cost is $5 – which includes the bus fare and snack.
Grade 5 needs to wear P.E shirts and a BLUE top. Each child has a permission sip in their bag, please return on Monday 15th Feb.
Have a wonderful mid term break,
Thank you as always for your continued cooperation in the education of your child !
