29/06/12 class 5 A weekly review

GRADE- 5A 29.06.12

Greetings to all.

UOI – This week your child understood the working of his lungs by inflating and deflating the balloons. Your child understood the right way of inhaling and exhaling .Listen to your child describe the pathway of air. It would be nice of you to find some time to discuss the ways by which we can keep our heart and lungs healthy.

Maths – In Maths your child learned to add and subtract 9 digit numbers. They also started learning to solve the word problems. Please help your child to revise the multiplication tables up to 15 as this would be of great help during the next week.

English – Every Monday your child gets an opportunity of stepping out of the homeroom and learning in the open space. Children read the lesson on “Shipwreck” aloud. They learnt the “reflexive and personal” pronouns.

Today during the extended time, we had the story telling completion for grade-5.

Next week your child will inquire into the bones of the skeletal system.

We are happy that some of you are really spending time with your child in finding

What he/she has been learning at school. We request all of you to give your feedback in the school diary every Friday. Please reflect on UOI, Maths and English. You could also mention your concerns if any. Kindly ensure that your child is doing the maths assignment and submitting the books on Monday.

Wishing you a happy weekend.

Grade-5A Date: 22.06.12

Greetings to all.

It is a pleasure for us to keep you updated with the happenings in school. We would appreciate if you could also communicate to us on a weekly basis.

UOI- We introduced your child to the circulatory system by making them to record their breaths per minute after performing various activities like running, jumping, jogging, etc. during the course of these activities they realized the position of the heart and the connection between the heart and the lungs. This was followed by learning the structure of the heart. A model of the heart was also shown in the class. Your child was also taught a rap song to help him learn the functioning of the heart. Please listen to him/her sing it out….it is really fun.

English: This week emphasizes was laid on comprehension. The children were taken to the black stage area, where on open air the children discussed and wrote a comprehension on Shipwreck. The children also completed another comprehension on digestive system. An assessment in the form of dictation was done.

We also had the Junior School elocution competition, where Lizan, Zubin, Sredha, Gopika, Anya, Krishnan performed very well.

Maths: Continuing with the number system, your child learnt to read and write 9-digit numbers both in the Indian and International system. They also learnt the place value and face values of 9-digit numbers. This was followed by learning the ascending and descending order. The weekly Maths assignments will be given on every Friday. Kindly ensure that your child completes the same and submits it on the following Monday.

On Friday, the children had a trip to Ananthapuri Hospital. Please talk to your child and ask his/her reflections about it.

In the coming week, we have the English story telling competition.
