Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: April 23-27
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy: Students continue to learn about Social Issues and Human Rights. They will continue researching about their topic and begin narrowing down their ideas. They will reinforce and build on their note-taking skills as well as learning more about trustworthy resources and identifying perspective. As they research, they will be writing down their ideas to help them solidify and organise their thinking around the topic.
Math: We will continue our Volume and Measurement Unit. Students will explore volume by building and counting unit cubes as well as learning the relationship between different units of volume measurement.
Unit of Study: We will continue our Social Change unit by preparing for ‘Night of the Notables’ 2018 presentation. The script is finalised and we are practicing in the studio. Students will dig deeper into the Change Maker or Social Issue that they are exploring for their blackboard presentations. The Night of the Notables presentations will be on the evening of Tuesday 8 May. Please read the letter for more details of this event.
For more information and ways to support your child please visit the Parent Learning Connection page.
Important Reminders/Information: (also see GLC Updates)
This Friday students will have Night of the Notables photos taken. Please ensure black trousers are sent to school before Friday, April 27
We have a long weekend coming up. School will resume May 2 (Day 2)

Earth Week activities were a huge success! Thank you for reaching out, whether in your household or the community, to make even a small difference.
Thank you for sending in Toys for the toy drive. Boxes are overflowing!
