It has been another busy week of learning in Grade 5. In language we looked at more written instructions to help us to construct our rubric ready for writing our own sets of instructions which will be followed by one of our classmates. Students identified the form and function of elements needed to create clear and easy to follow instructions. They also had lots of fun creating their own dinosaur hats!
In Maths we explored more multiplication strategies and used our knowledge of the CUBE method to solve multiplication word problems. There was also an outdoor choir formed to reinforce knowledge of multiplication tables through rhythm and repetition.
In Unit we have been exploring friction and we created our own books to explain Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion: inertia, acceleration and action & reaction. Please ask your child what they have learned this week!
FROM THE LIBRARY: Recently the ABIS library has seen an influx of library books that are coming back after having been checked out up to 3 years ago! There are many books that are still missing from the library. Please take the time in the next few weeks, or during the upcoming winter break, to look through your bookshelves and children’s rooms for any ABIS library books. They may have ABIS stamps inside or out, an ABIS barcode on the back cover and/or a library spine label. We are working hard in the library to have all books marked consistently so that our users are able to locate the books they need as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Wishing everyone a restful and enjoyable long weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday 30th November.
Best wishes,
The Grade 5 Teaching Team
