Grade 5: Literacy Week

This week has been Literacy Week at SIS.

The children worked hard for the celebration of learning and produced some fantastic posters to display their learning. They presented these to parents and explained what they had researched and the conclusions that they had made. Both their music performances showed their commitment and growing love for music. They should be very proud of themselves for their work with Mr. Thomas.

Grade 5 applied their experiences supporting Pre-K with their reading whilst working with Grade 1 this week. They showed that they are caring and great communicators.

We've been so lucky this week to go on TWO trips this week. To end our first unit of inquiry, Grade 5 went to the Sporu Centre with Grade 4 and 6. The children were respectful and supportive to their peers when attempting challenging and sometimes scary activities. They ensured that they treated everyone equally and kept themselves and others safe by listening carefully and following instructions.

Grades 5 and 6 also went to the Ancient Orient Museum in preparation for our next unit of inquiry; where we are in place and time. We generated some great questions about what we saw and asked our fantastic guide. We even saw a replica of the Hammurabi stone we researched during our first inquiry.

We'll see you on the 28th October. Have a restful break.
