Hello Families,

This week we have started multiplication and division in math. Please support your child at home to learn their multiplication tables, as this makes it so much easier for them. In Literacy we focused a lot on grammar and spelling this week, as well as writing our own fables as a comic strip. In music we are beginning to research Canadian musicians and will create Slide Presentations to present to the class. Science saw us complete our focus on Wetlands by drawing different wetland animals and writing riddles about them to enhance our knowledge of their features. We discussed immigration in Social Studies and why people came and settled in Canada from many different countries. 

We finished creating our travel brochures on animal safaris - they look amazing. Check out your child's IRIS account on-line to see a range of work they have completed and are proud of. We moved on to basketball in gym and are focused on building out fitness level through playing games.

Your child will bring home their password today to ensure they are ready to join an on-line class if we are required to move on-line. Details of how this will work will be forwarded separately to you later today. This is only needed IF we go to on-line schooling.

Parent Conferences will take place next week on Thursday evening and Friday morning. These will be on-line or by phone - you can book your appointment from Monday through the electronic booking system.  If you need an interpreter, please let me know.

There will be no school next Friday, October 30, because of School Conferences.

Please remember to send your child to school with all their winter clothes including hat and gloves. It's been chilly on the playground this week. 

Please connect with me if you have and questions, and have a safe and enjoyable weekend. 

Mrs Coldbeck and the Grade 4/5 Students of Room 14
