GIS Grade 4 week starting 22 October 2018

Dear Parents
This week's homework will once again be on Reading Eggs and Mathletics.
Please assist your child by helping them memorise their multiplication times tables.

Thank you to all parents who sent in canned food for our Food Dive on World Food Day last week.  These will be given to representatives from Fountain House and the Salvation Army this Wednesday 24 October at 1pm, in a special assembly.  A reporter from the local newspaper will be there to capture the event.
Just a reminder that it would be great if your child could dress in the colours of their national flag for UN Day 24th October!

A reminder that there will be a parents' coffee morning this Wednesday 24th October at 8.30am for PYP parents.  You are welcome to bring along a friend who might be interested in finding out more about our school.  The MYP coffee morning will follow the PYP coffee morning.

We have been incorporating our Art into our units of inquiry.  Many of you saw our large religious icons we created in our unit on Belief Systems.  In our unit on Explorers, we explored water colours as a background and experimented with picture transfer.  Some of the results were quite stunning.  We are currently looking at Picasso as an art explorer and are trying to make cubist paintings using oil pastels.

On the 5th November, we'll be hosting the PYP assembly at 2.20pm.  We'll be presenting the rap songs about Explorers that we wrote to music we composed on Garage Band.  All parents are welcome to come and watch our assembly.
