4HA Weekly News
4th April 2014
Dear parents
Remember that this week we will have parent-teacher conferences, on Thursday (10th) and Friday (11th). Therefore, there will be no school for ES students on Friday. I am really looking forward to meeting with you, and discussing your wonderful children! Please return the form, confirming that you can come at the time I sent, if you have not already returned it.

Our Studies
Language Arts
Next week, we will study punctuation, including commas, apostrophes and speech/quotation marks. The aim is to develop the students' understanding of punctuation, and to help them to write and edit their work more accurately and effectively. We will also have a special library lesson with Ms. Kersting. She will give a presentation about Rosemary Wells, a famous author who will visit SFS on 2nd May!
Math
Next week, we will learn about hundredths and thousandths. We will relate decimals to our knowledge about fractions. In addition to this, the children will have the opportunity to complete some general review activities that will focus on computation and number skills.
Science
Next week, we will begin discussing electricity as a form of energy. We will not have a great deal of time for this initial introduction, as we have a short week with lots of other activities happening!
The Play
Curiosity Project
Prince George Award
A special mention should also go to Tyler, who tried extremely hard, and was SO close!
