Portfolios and Student Led Conference Forms – can you please have a look at home and send back all the children’s portfolios that were taken home after the SLCs? Some classes are still missing a few and we do need to keep adding to them throughout the year. Also, the Student Led Conference forms also need to be returned so that we can reflect on our goals before the Easter Break. Thanks so much.
PE Days – as we begin a new UOI next week you may find that your child’s PE days have changed. This can be a bother but unfortunately, due to timetable changes, this can’t be helped. Here are the days for PE for UOI 5.
5F – Tuesday and Thursday (Miss Fearn will email you if these days change unexpectedly through the UOI)
5C – Monday and Wednesday
5D – Monday and Tuesday
Can all children please remember to wear their PE kit on these days each week? Thanks.

Scholastic International Book Club
Book Drive
Hi, my name is Muchan, a Student Councillor for 5C. I am organising a Book Drive to help spread my love of reading. The Sony Corporation will collect books to create mobile libraries in South Africa for schools that do not have enough books. If you have books that are:
- Written in English
- Suitable for 6-12-year-olds
- Have no yellow or brown pages (due to aging)
- Have no missing pages
- Have no scribbles inside
- Not Textbooks
- Not magazines
- Not encyclopedias
Please send them to school. There will be a collection box in the school foyer. Any books you can donate will be spread our love of reading.
Student Council Fruity Friday
- To have fun
- You perform in groups or solo
- Your dance should be around 1 minute
- heats for the competition will take place at various lunchtimes after Easter
- there will be a lower school and upper competition
You can support your child by helping them create and rehearse their dance.
Monday this week was our postponed China Day! The children we’re joined into groups of 24 with 4 children from each year group. They then did a carousel of activities including scratch painting, brush writing, drinking tea and much more. They also went out into the playground and played a variety of outdoor games. It was lots of fun and the children looked fantastic in their traditional Chinese attire.
It was also the 3-6 sports day this week at Kings Park. The children had a great time and there was some great sportsmanship on show. The points from the day will be added to the house points and the winning team announced on Monday.
The robotics club have been building remote control robots! This one came to spy on Mr. Douglas when he was working after school!
Central Idea : Energy can be converted and transformed to support every day life.
- Transformation of energy (function)
- Renewable and non-renewable energy (connection)
- Sustainable energy use in everyday life (causation)
There was no Golden Book this week due to China Day 🙂
- Read the Weekly Update
- Mathletics – continue with the set tasks
- Reading – keep up with their reading every night. Don’t forget to get Reading Journals signed every night and children should be reading every night.
- Spelling – each Monday the children are sent home their 10 personal words that they need to learn for the week. Please, can a parent (or responsible adult) support the children by...testing them (written or oral), getting them to put their words into interesting sentences (written or oral), discussing the meanings of the words, thinking about synonyms and antonyms of that word, discussing words with a similar meaning etc.
- UOI – rest, relax and enjoy the weekend!
- Mandarin Home Learning (All children are encouraged to take a reading book home on the days when they have Mandarin lessons.)
- Ms Lynn – Please check your google classroom for details.
