This week we all participated in an experiment to think about what happens during an oil spill. We discussed the negative impact this would have on the ocean environment. We then conducted an experiment to test which materials would clean the oil the best.
We made sandwiches to discuss the language surrounding fractions. We practised using the terms whole, half, share, middle, fair, equal and quarters. The students had to prepare the sandwich knowing they had to cut it in half to share with a friend - this made sure the two pieces were very equal.
For the Grade 4 unit How We Organize Ourselves, they been learning about market economies. To apply what they have learned, they will be putting on their very own souk! We would love it if you could join and offer your support by purchasing the various goods and services that will be on offer. If you would like to send money to school with your child please send 5-20aed.
Who: Grade 4 students When: Wednesday January 25th Time: 9:00am-11:00am Where: The Peace Garden All proceeds for the souk will go towards Dubai Cares. ![]()
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday with their families. It is a chance for the children to relax, have fun and play like 5 year olds!
If you would like to keep up some practise for school please use; -Tricky Word sheets (I will put the files here if you need to download) -Handwriting cards I sent home yesterday -IXL (email me if you have forgotten your username and password) -Take photos of different types of transport you find on your holidays and discuss what these are used for. This will be plenty for them! Enjoy your time together, Ms Nicola Because our Field Trip falls on our Library day this coming week we will visit on Sunday. Please return books so we can exchange on this day - Sunday 4th December.
Have a great long weekend, Nicola |
