Dear
Parents and Students,
Spirit
Week has been a lot of fun, and our Race Day was especially
successful. Everyone at HIS has been remarking on what a great sense
of sportsmanship we all felt as we supported our friends, classmates,
and teachers. Thank you to all of the parents who were able to
attend, and a special thank you to those parents who participated in
the races and soccer games! Photos taken throughout the week can be
found via the link at the end of this post. Parents are welcome to
add your own photos to the album.
In
the classroom, we completed another Maths
topic, and our Topic 14 test took place on Friday. Next week, we
shift our attention from two-dimensional figures to three-dimensional
shapes. Topic 15 is all about solids, and how to measure their
dimensions. This is a short topic, and the test will take place next
Friday.
In
our Literacy
Workshop, we
have been enjoying Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland.
We have been discussing the story as a class and also in our reading
groups, leading to some very insightful conversations. We have also
continued our grammar unit, focusing on the capitalization and
punctuation of proper nouns and abbreviations.
In Science, our
Science Fair projects are beginning to take shape, as we establish
our hypotheses and finalise our planning for experimentation. Regular
conferences each week will be held to make sure everyone is on track.
In the classroom, we are continuing with our Science
Handbook,
and performing some minor experiments that model the Scientific
Process.
In
Social
Studies,
we
have continued our exploration of the Southeast states. Next week, we
will review what we have studied throughout Unit 3, and we will sit
an open-book
test on Thursday.
Thank
you to all parents who helped with costumes and supported your
children throughout Spirit Week and Race Day. Next week, we have
another ‘normal’ week. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy your
weekend, and I will see everyone back a school on Monday!
