Grade 5
January 18 - 22
Unit of inquiry
We began our new unit this week under the theme Sharing the Planet. Students worked in groups to do the prior assessment which was a picture sort - they were given a range of pictures on the topic of ecosystems and environments to talk about and sort. From this we are able to gain some understanding of each child's knowledge of ecosystems, their use of vocabulary and their understanding of concepts such as causation and responsibility. Information about the unit was sent to parents by email. Please contact your child's class teacher if you did not receive it.

Reminders
The International Family Food Fair takes place next month. If you would like to help there is a sign-up sheet on the notice board outside each classroom.
Please sign your child's communication book each week.
Students are encouraged to bring an extra t-shirt on Monday and Wednesday so that they can change after P.E. and on Thursday for those students who do Health and Fitness. Please remind your child to write their name in their P.E. shirt and also on items such as pencil cases, lunch bags, water bottles, and pencils and pens that they bring to school.
