GIS Grade 4 week starting 19 November 2018

Dear Parents
We had a great week last week.  Our trip to Oslo was a great success!  Our students behaved with respect and represented our school well.  The guide at the Kon-tiki museum said she'd never seen children so engaged and who ask so many questions!  We took that as a compliment.  Photos from the trip are at the end of this blog post.
We've introduced our summative assessment task.  It is quite a big one as each child had to come up with a guiding question that they'll research.  They will be presenting their research in an information report.
In Maths we have been looking at Multiplication and Division word sums, how to identify a possible red herring in the question, and the steps you need to take to solve the problem.
Homework this week is on Mathletics and Reading Eggs.  I'll also be sending home some cursive writing practice sheets.
A reminder that this Thursday is Entrepreneurs Day.  For 10kr children can set up a stall and sell things they have made, baked goodies or second hand items.  They can also offer a service like face-painting etc, or sell turns to play a game.  Please support your child in their entrepreneur efforts as they learn how to run a business.  It will start at 12 and end at 2.  You are welcome to attend and buy items from our young business owners.  Grade 1 and 3 will be selling baked goods and craft items they made this Friday at lunch break.  Please send money with your child to support them, or your child can spend their profits from Thursday!  They will also need some spending money if they wish to buy from other stalls on Thursday.
Have a great week ahead!
Miss Cindy and Mr Wanda
