Dear Parents,
We have learned of a new web site called dashboardskoolbo.com.  Perhaps you have heard about it already.
Skoolbo is a great new site to help with reading and maths. Children are immersed in an incredible learning world and are highly motivated by the inbuilt rewards. Parents and teachers are equipped with an array of tools to help achieve wonderful educational outcomes for their children.
In Math. we have started fractions.  The kids have been working on a very interesting booklet in class.  Next week we will be doing some differentiated activities in Math as well as Area. 
In French the children have started a new story about a mystery parcel at their doorstep.
In English we are playing vocabulary games that the children are enjoying thoroughly.
In Social Studies we are continuing to learn about the 3 communities in the past and present.
Have an excellent weekend!

Dear Parents,
Tomorrow the children will be treated to a free Pizza.  Although they will not require a lunch, please do send their morning snacks. 
Our next Field Trip is on the 21st at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary.  Many thanks to the following Parent Volunteers:
Jansen's Mom, Junwen's Dad, Elliott's Dad, Roxy's Mom and Stella's Mom.  We will not be requiring any more.
In Science we are continuing our Unit on Small Crawling and Flying Animals.  The children have been doing amazing research with a partner and sharing information in class.  They have watched several videos and collected insects from the garden and inspected them through the magnifying glass.  Please do ask them what they have learned.
In Math, we have practiced 3-D geometric shapes extensively with manipulatives.  Problem solving has been ongoing.  Please review the Math Test with your child this evening.  Some children are still experiencing difficulty reading numbers in French and adding and subtracting with hundreds, tens and ones. 

Have a great day!
