Grade 5 enjoyed a fun and informative tour of the Mission House today. We learned more about the history of Cayman, including information about the first school, early building materials and what is was like to live in the past.

Thank you to our drivers 🙂

Grade 5 did a wonderful job with raising money for water.org.

With the whole school dress down and the Grade 5 bake sale we raised $370 US dollars. At least 3 families now have clean water.

Thank you Grade 5 and parents !

Grade 5 have been busy preparing for the Math Snap Fair.

Today we tried out the puzzles we have created, and had fun trying to solve each problem.

Well Done Grade 5 athletes – you represented FBCS well at the Inter-Primary Competition.

Grade 5 you rock ! Everyone dressed up 🙂

Today we had a guest ‘storyteller’ – Mr Ricky – come tell us a story about his father / grandfather – this story had a great message about the importance of a good education !

We also enjoyed learning about John Henry – and the message – ‘How hard we work when no-one is looking, that’s who we really are inside.’

This afternoon our Kindergarten buddies came to visit and the Grade 5’s read their own stories and became storytellers themselves.

 

March 7th – 11th is Reading Week here at FBCS.

So last weeks ‘wonder of the week ‘ by Matthew Bodden –  (When was the first catboat made ?) – was answered today …..

The first catboat was made in 1904 by Daniel Jervis in Cayman Brac.

Thanks to the Bodden family for providing this answer !

This week our question is by Kimberly Morain …

‘How did we create the alphabet?’…..

Send in any answers…. Happy Wondering !

 

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.
