Thursday 23rd May, 2013.
Maths:
a) Everyday Math Journal lesson 10.6 pages 255A (Interpreting a Pictograph) and 255B (Making a Bar Graph from a Pictograph).
Look out for the photographs of the class using their measuring skills, on the Weebly Photo Gallery.
b) Keep practicing all your times tables.

Don't just do the easy ones - keep challenging yourself if you want to get better ! We have been studying for the x8 table this week, and we will write the test on Sunday. Well done to all those of you who are trying so hard to master your tables !
REMEMBER: The x8 test is now on Sunday because so many people were absent today.
Spelling:
This week's words were: sunset, bookcase, farmyard, everyone, football, sunshine, rainbow, baseball, hallway, notebook, outdoors.
In addition to these 11 words, four more will be added on Sunday which are also compound words.
REMEMBER: The test is now on Sunday because so many people were absent today.
Reading:
Practice reading the new books you were given today.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) PORTFOLIOS:
I have started giving the children pieces of work to complete for their portfolios. Please encourage them to do their very best work to display in their folders.
b) SCIENCE PRESENTATIONS:
Making the models went very well on Tuesday and today ! A lot of children made a big effort to be well organized, and brought in lots of great materials with which to make their life cycles. I have published photographs on the Photo Gallery page of the Weebly website. The next stage of this activity is for the children to make presentations to the rest of the class about their respective life cycles. Please help them prepare what they are going to say to the rest of the class.
REMEMBER: Presentations will begin on Sunday.
c) READING BOOKS:
Could you please make sure that all reading and library books are returned to the school before your child leaves for summer vacation.
d) MISSING HOMEWORK and BEHAVIOUR:
Even though we are nearing the end of the year, I do not want the standards of homework and behavior to slip. A number of children
have missed PE lessons in recent weeks because they have not done
their homework. Unless you have any objections, I shall continue to
adopt this policy for the rest of the year, as necessary.
BEHAVIOUR: Your support in ensuring that your child maintains their focus for the last THREE weeks of the school year would be most welcome. Mr John started a new initiative this week called 'Celebrating Green' to recognize the children who manage to maintain a 'green position' on the conduct stick. Only 9 children (out of 24) maintained a 100% green position for the whole week. A number of children have been caught chewing gum - one boy three times in a single day !
We are also at a stage in the year when the Grade Three teachers are making recommendations about individual pupils to the teachers of
Grade Four. In this context, it is far easier to be positive about a pupil if they are doing their work to an appropriate standard and maintaining an excellent level of conduct.
e) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.
Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize
that another pupil has won through sheer hard work.

RESEARCH PROJECT
Use your planning sheet to organize your research project for tomorrow.
You need to choose an organism and start thinking about creating a 3-D model/diagram to explain its life cycle. You will bring your materials into school for tomorrow morning when we will be making the models/diagrams. We do NOT want posters or powerpoints - your work has to be 3-D. Please do not come into school with something you have already made at home. Some of you seem very well organized but others do not !!

I have started giving the children pieces of work to complete for their portfolios. Please encourage them to do their very best work to display in their folders.
b) SCIENCE PRESENTATIONS:
Please encourage your child to work on their planning for their 3-D Life Cycle presentation.
c) MISSING HOMEWORK and BEHAVIOUR:
Even though we are nearing the end of the year, I do not want the
standards of homework and behavior to slip. A number of children have missed PE lessons in recent weeks because they have not done their homework. Unless you have any objections, I shall continue to adopt
this policy for the rest of the year, as necessary.
I have also been disappointed by the behaviour of some children this week. Two boys were caught stealing from my desk yesterday, and there have also been instances of spitting. Such conduct is unacceptable and unbecoming of a child of this school. Your support in ensuring that your child maintains their focus for the last four weeks of the school year would be most welcome.
We are also at a stage in the year when the Grade Three teachers are making recommendations about individual pupils to the teachers of Grade Four. In this context, it is far easier to be positive about a pupil if they are doing their work to an appropriate standard and maintaining an excellent level of conduct.
d) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.
Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize
that another pupil has won through sheer hard work.

Maths:
a) Home Links 10.2 (Exploring the Volume of Boxes). Cut out and make the four boxes neatly, and bring them to school tomorrow for measuring. Try and work out the volume of each box by multiplying the length, width and height.
b) Keep practicing all your times tables.

NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) LATE DISMISSAL TODAY:
Please accept my apologies for our late dismissal today (it was 2.53 pm when we left the classroom) but, unfortunately, one of our girls had quite a lot of money stolen from her bag. She was going to spend it at the Book Fair but now she is not able to do this. Not only has Alaa's day been ruined by a very uncaring person but it also made us very late in coming down to the playground.
b) Thank you for helping the children to learn their tables. 11 children recently passed their x6 table, and a number of others very nearly achieved their sticker.
PLEASE keep encouraging your child to learn their tables. I'm afraid a small number of children don't have any stickers on the tables chart yet. Please do all you can to help them, especially as grades can be badly affected by poor results in the tables quizzes, and we have the x7 table quiz tomorrow. As I said to one of the parents at the recent conferences, trying to learn maths without knowing the times tables is like trying to build a house without any tools.
Thank you.
c) BOOK FAIR :
We will be visiting the Book Fair as a class tomorrow at 12.30 pm although, if the children are not riding the bus, they can have a look after school as long as parents and drivers know where they are. Please don't allow the children to just disappear without telling anyone.
d) MISSING HOMEWORK:
Even though we are nearing the end of the year, I do not want the
homework standards to slip. A number of children missed this week's PE lessons because they had not done their homework. Unless you have any objections, I shall continue to adopt this policy for the rest of the year, as
necessary.
e) SWIMMING:
The pool has been repaired so swimming will resume for the boys on Tuesdays and the girls on Wednesdays.
f) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.

Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize that
another pupil has won through sheer hard work.
a) Everyday Math Journal page 242 (Lesson 10.1 Multiplication Practice). Use the method of multiplying you like best.
b) Keep practicing all your times tables.
http://www.multiplication.com/games/all-games
Don't just do the easy ones - keep challenging yourself if you want to get better !
REMEMBER: On Thursday, we are having a quiz on the x7 table which will count towards your grade.
Spelling:
This week's words are: different, bottles, collect, error, puppy, lesson, matter, correct, hugged, common, letter.
In addition to these 11 words, four more will be added on Thursday which have the same double consonant rule.
Reading:
Please practice the books you were given yesterday.
Art:
Don't forget to buy a pad of post-it notes for this week's lesson on Life Cycle Flip Books. If you don't bring them, you won't be able to do the lesson !
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) Thank you for helping the children to learn their tables. 11 children recently passed their x6 table, and a number of others very nearly achieved their sticker. PLEASE keep encouraging your child to learn their tables. I'm afraid a small number of children don't have any stickers on the tables chart yet. Please do all you can to help them, especially as grades can be badly affected by poor results in the tables quizzes, and we have the x7 table quiz on Thursday. As I said to one of the parents at the recent conferences, trying to learn maths without knowing the times tables is like trying to build a house without any tools.
Thank you.
b) BOOK FAIR :
We will be visiting the Book Fair as a class on Thursday at 12.30 pm although, if the children are not riding the bus, they can have a look after school as long as parents and drivers know where they are. Please don't allow the children to just disappear without telling anyone.
c) MISSING HOMEWORK:
Even though we are nearing the end of the year, I do not want the
homework standards to slip. A number of children missed last week's PE lessons because they had not done their homework. Unless you have any objections, I shall continue to adopt this policy for the rest of the year, as
necessary.
d) SWIMMING:
The pool has been repaired so swimming will resume for the girls tomorrow. Well done to those boys who brought in their swimming things today !

Unit of Inquiry:
Please work on your presentation for this week. Remember, you just need to talk for 60 seconds about an artifact or story which has a connection with Sheikh Zayed. You can use photographs from our trip to Al Ain. I have posted all the photographs I took, on the weebly Photo Gallery. Nineteen people have made presentations so far, and they have all been excellent. Remember, it doesn't have to be a power point; I will be happy to provide any of my photos for you. Or you can bring something from home that you have talked about with your family if it is appropriate. The picture Abdulla Salem had of his grandfather meeting Sheikh Zayed was very interesting ! Good research, Abdulla and thank
you for sharing it with us ! Remember, the presentation is being assessed

I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize that
another pupil has won through sheer hard work.
d) MISSING HOMEWORK:
Even though we are nearing the end of the year, I do not want the homework standards to slip. A number of children missed today's PE lesson because they had not done their maths homework. Unless you have any objections, I shall continue to adopt this policy for the rest of the year, as necessary.
Monday 29th April, 2013.
Maths:
a) Keep practicing times tables.
http://www.multiplication.com/games/all-games
Don't just do the easy ones - keep challenging yourself if you
want to get better !
Literacy/Unit of Inquiry:
Letter of Thanks to Sheikh Zayed. Use the notes that we gathered this morning to write an interesting letter. Do not just write down the words in the notes as a list. REMEMBER: This assignment will be assessed so do the best you can !
Unit of Inquiry:
Please work on your presentation for this week. Remember, you just need to talk for 60 seconds about an artifact which has a connection with Sheikh Zayed. You can use photographs from our trip to Al Ain.
I have posted all the photographs I took, on the weebly Photo Gallery.
Twelve people have made presentations so far, and they have all been excellent. Remember, it doesn't have to be a power point; I will be happy
to provide any of my photos for you. Or you can bring something from home that you have talked about with your family if it is appropriate. The picture Abdulla Salem had of his grandfather meeting Sheikh Zayed was very interesting ! Good research, Abdulla and thank you for sharing it with us ! Remember, the presentation is being assessed for Literacy AND Social Studies.
Spelling:
This week's words are: shirt, skirt, firm, jerked, clerk, perfect, person, term, burned, church, curled.
In addition to these 11 words, four more will be added on Thursday, which have the same ur sound.
Reading:
Please practice the books you were given this morning.

UNFINISHED WORK:
A number of children still have the following work to complete:
a) Unit of Inquiry - Important, Famous or Both worksheet (Lionel Messi, Mr John and Mother Teresa).
b) Unit of Inquiry - Concentric Circles (Who is Important in my Life ?).
c) Literacy - finish your story of Street Fair. Use the vocabulary sheet to help you.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) Thank you for helping the children to learn their tables. 11 children passed their x6 table on Thursday, and a number of others very nearly achieved their sticker. PLEASE keep encouraging your child to learn their tables. I'm afraid a small number of children don't have any stickers on the tables chart yet. Please do all you can to help them, especially as grades can be badly affected by poor results in the tables quizzes.
As I said to one of the parents at last week's conferences, trying to learn maths without knowing the times tables is like trying to build a house without any tools.
Thank you.
b) GOING TO THE NURSE:
Too many children are coming to school and then asking almost immediately if they can go to the nurse with a pre-existing injury or illness. If your child is not fit or well enough to come to school, please don't send them in. Last week, I had at least 30 requests from children wanting to go and see the nurse, which was totally unfair to an already overworked nursing staff. Many thanks for your support.
c) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.
Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize that

b) Keep practicing times tables.
http://www.multiplication.com/games/all-games
Don't just do the easy ones - keep challenging yourself if you want to get better !
Literacy:
Complete the Street Fair story. Use the pictures and the vocabulary we learned to help you. REMEMBER: Try to 'squeeze' as much detail out of the pictures as you can.

NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) Portfolio Folders
Although the children came to school back in September with folders which were supposed to be used for their portfolios, many of them had to
be used to supplement supplies in the Arabic classes.
We have now reached a point in the school year when portfolios need to be started. I would be extremely grateful if you could send in any extra
40 pocket presentation folders that we could use.
Many thanks for your help and generosity. We actually need a total of
5 more folders before we can start the portfolios.
b) UNHEALTHY SNACKS:
I have noticed that more and more children are bringing unhealthy snacks into school. From Sunday, the children will not be allowed to bring snacks such as chocolate, potato chips and cookies into school for snack. Thank you for your support.
c) PLEASE encourage your child to learn their times tables. A small number of children (about 6 !) know their tables well but far too many have a very poor recall.
Please do all you can to help them, especially as grades can be
badly affected by poor results in the tables quizzes. As I said to one of
the parents yesterday, trying to learn maths without knowing the times tables is like trying to build a house without any tools.

Don't just do the easy ones - keep challenging yourself if you
want to get better !
Don't forget, there is a quiz for the x6 times table tomorrow.
Reading:
Please practice the books you were given on Monday.
Spelling:
This week's
words are: it's, song, leave, being, family, flower/flour, our/hour, hair/hare.
In addition to these 11 words, four more will be added tomorrow, which are homophones - words which sound the same but are spelt differently and have a different meaning.
Unit of Inquiry:
Please work on your presentation for this week. Remember, you
just need to talk for 60 seconds about an artifact which has a connection with Sheikh Zayed. You can use photographs from last week's trip. Just think about the presentation I did for you about the photograph of Sheikh Zayed with the Queen of England. I have posted all the photographs I took last week, on the weebly Photo Gallery.
Tamara and Bailasan did a great job on Monday, showing us how a presentation can be made. They were the first pupils to be assessed.
Sarah, Leen and Ahmed did very well yesterday.
Remember, it doesn't have to be a power point; I will be happy to provide any of my photos for you. Or you can bring something from home that you have talked about with your family if it is appropriate. Also, the presentation is being assessed for Literacy AND Social Studies.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) PARENT CONFERENCES:
It was a pleasure to talk with a number of you yesterday. I certainly hope you found our conversations as enjoyable and useful as I did.
b) AL AIN FIELD TRIP:
Although it was very disappointing that the whole class did not make
the trip to Al Ain, I am sure the work the eight absentees did at home was very valuable. I have posted the photographs of the trip on the Weebly
website which I am sure everyone can learn from. ALL the children are expected to do their presentation this week not just those who went to Al Ain.

Please practice the books you were given today.
Spelling:
This week's words are: it's, song, leave, being, family, flower/flour, our/hour, hair/hare.
In addition to these 11 words, four more will be added on Thursday, which are homophones - words which sound the same but are spelt differently and have a different meaning.
Unit of Inquiry:
Please work on your presentation for this week. Remember, you just need to talk for 60 seconds about an artifact which has a connection with
Sheikh Zayed. You can use photographs from last week's trip. Just think about the presentation I did for you about the photograph of Sheikh Zayed with the Queen of England. I have posted all the photographs I took last week, on the weebly Photo Gallery.
Tamara and Bailasan also did a great job today, showing us how a presentation can be made. They are the first pupils to be assessed. However, it doesn't have to be a power point; I will be happy to provide any of my photos for you. Or you can bring something from home that you have talked about with your family if it is appropriate.
UNFINISHED WORK:
A number of children still have the following work to complete:
a) Unit of Inquiry - Important, Famous or Both worksheet (Lionel Messi, Mr John and Mother Teresa).
b) Unit of Inquiry - Concentric Circles (Who is Important in my Life ?).
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) PARENT CONFERENCES:
The parent conferences will take place tomorrow between 1.30 pm and
6 pm. I look forward to meeting with as many of you again as possible.
b) AL AIN FIELD TRIP:
Although it was very disappointing that the whole class did not make
the trip to Al Ain, I am sure the work the eight absentees did at home was very valuable. I have posted the photographs of the trip on the Weebly
website which I am sure everyone can learn from. ALL the children are expected to do their presentation this week not just those who went to Al Ain.
c) Portfolio Folders
Although the children came to school back in September with folders which were supposed to be used for their portfolios, many of them had to
be used to supplement supplies in the Arabic classes.
We have now reached a point in the school year when portfolios need to be started. I would be extremely grateful if you could send in any extra
40 pocket presentation folders that we could use.
Many thanks for your help and generosity. We actually need a total of 6
more folders before we can start the portfolios.
d) PLEASE encourage your child to learn their times tables. A small number of children (about 6 !) know their tables well but far too many have a very poor recall.
Please do all you can to help them, especially as grades can be badly affected by poor results in the tables quizzes.
Thank you.
e) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.
Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize that
another pupil has won through sheer hard work.

As for the children who went to Al Ain, their behaviour at the palace was extremely respectful and full of focus. I was very proud of them. However, I was far from happy with some of the children on the return journey. Far too many of them had brought a lot of candy, including chewing gum. As a result, they became over-excited whilst the litter they left in the bus was extremely embarrassing. I would ask that for future field trips and, indeed, regular snack times, parents could be extra vigilant as to the snacks the children are bringing into school.

Concentric Circles - Who is Important in my Life ?
Reading:
Please practice the new books you were given yesterday.
Spelling:
This week's words are: cut, young, talk soon, list, here, hear, bare, bear, way, weigh.
In addition to these 11 words, four more will be added on Thursday, which are homophones - words which sound the same but are spelt differently and have a different meaning.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) AL AIN FIELD TRIP:
Unfortunately, only the children who brought in their money BEFORE the spring holiday will be able to go on the field trip to Al Ain tomorrow. Buses had to be booked before the holiday and, based on the numbers submitted to Mr Ahmed Saleh, only two buses were booked for the classes going on Wednesday. This means that only 16 children will
be going to Al Ain. The remaining eight children will have the option of coming into school and being placed in one of the three remaining classes who are going to Al Ain on Thursday OR staying at home. The eight children all have work to do so it is probably best if they stay at home, especially as the three remaining classes are very large.
I am sorry that this situation has arisen but reminders were given to the children on numerous occasions and deadlines have to be kept to.

Unit of Inquiry:
a) Make sure you complete your Gallery Walk and the Cause and Effect Wheel on Dune-Bashing.
Remember, there is a grade for both of these activities.
b) Our new unit entitled Where We Are In Time And Place is well underway now. A few children have brought in some wonderful images of significent people in history and famous people of today. If possible, I would like some more for an activity we will be doing in the morning.
Reading:
Keep practicing with the books you received on Sunday. I will try and give you extra books for the holiday, later this week.
Concert !!
Well done to everyone today. You were AMAZING ! The readers spoke beautifully. A big well done to Abdulla Yaser and Byat for making up for the absence of Abdulla Tareq so well. Congratulations to Mansour who read the Qu'ran at the beginning of the concert.
The song went really well too, especially the final verse.
I am very proud of everyone who took part. Thank you to all the parents who came and supported the efforts of the children.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) AL AIN FIELD TRIP MONEY:
At the moment, we are still short of payment for nine people for the field trip. We really need the money to be brought in tomorrow please.
b) Portfolio Folders
Although the children came to school back in September with
folders which were supposed to be used for their portfolios,
many of them had to be used to supplement supplies in the Arabic classes. We have now reached a point in the school year when portfolios need to be started. I would be extremely grateful if you could send in any extra 40 pocket presentation folders that we could use. Many thanks for your help and generosity. We actually need a total of 12 more folders before we can start the portfolios.
c) Snack Time
A number of children seem to be bringing a lot of extra snack items
into school to supplement what is provided by the school. Many of the extra items are not healthy. During snack time, we will often read a story together from the whiteboard or, just lately, practice our concert song. This is not a long time but it is still valuable. However, several children seem far more interested in what they have to eat instead of doing what
they are supposed to be doing.
By the time we go to lunch, a number of children have no appetite
because they have eaten so much snack. As a consequence, a great
deal of food is wasted. I understand that children need food to energise
themselves but I am sure that if they had a wholesome breakfast, there would be no need to have so much extra snack. Thank you for your support.
d) PLEASE encourage your child to learn their times tables. A small
number of children (about 6 !) know their tables well but far too many have a very poor recall. Please do all you can to help them.
Thank you.
e) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.
Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
I am going to keep this last notice on the website until the clock is returned because I am so appalled that someone should take a prize that another pupil has won through sheer hard work.
a) Keep practicing times tables.
http://www.multiplication.com/games/all-games
Don't just do the easy ones - keep challenging yourself if you want to get better !
Unit of Inquiry:
a) Make sure you complete your Gallery Walk and the Cause and Effect Wheel on Dune-Bashing.
Remember, there is a grade for both of these activities.
b) Our new unit entitled Where We Are In Time And Place is well underway now. A few children have brought in some wonderful images of significent people in history and famous people of today. If possible, I would like some more for an activity we will be doing in the morning.
Reading:
Keep practicing with the books you received on Sunday. I will try and give you extra books for the holiday, later this week.
Concert !!
Well done to everyone today. You were AMAZING ! The readers spoke beautifully. A big well done to Abdulla Yaser and Byat for making up for the absence of Abdulla Tareq so well. Congratulations to Mansour who read the Qu'ran at the beginning of the concert.
The song went really well too, especially the final verse.
I am very proud of everyone who took part. Thank you to all the parents who came and supported the efforts of the children.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) AL AIN FIELD TRIP MONEY:
At the moment, we are still short of payment for nine people for the field trip. We really need the money to be brought in tomorrow please.
b) Portfolio Folders
Although the children came to school back in September with
folders which were supposed to be used for their portfolios,
many of them had to be used to supplement supplies in the Arabic classes. We have now reached a point in the school year when portfolios need to be started. I would be extremely grateful if you could send in any extra 40 pocket presentation folders that we could use. Many thanks for your help and generosity. We actually need a total of 12 more folders before we can start the portfolios.
c) Snack Time
A number of children seem to be bringing a lot of extra snack items
into school to supplement what is provided by the school. Many of the extra items are not healthy. During snack time, we will often read a story together from the whiteboard or, just lately, practice our concert song. This is not a long time but it is still valuable. However, several children seem far more interested in what they have to eat instead of doing what
they are supposed to be doing.
By the time we go to lunch, a number of children have no appetite
because they have eaten so much snack. As a consequence, a great
deal of food is wasted. I understand that children need food to energise
themselves but I am sure that if they had a wholesome breakfast, there would be no need to have so much extra snack. Thank you for your support.

a) Those of you who want to read in the concert need to practice BOTH poems - WE HAVE A LITTLE GARDEN and FIVE LITTLE SEEDS.
b) Keep practicing our concert song - Green, Green, it's Green They Say.
REMEMBER: Each class will be taking it in turns to sing their song in
assembly. Tomorrow we will be practicing in the theatre.
NOTES TO PARENTS:
a) Portfolio Folders
Although the children came to school back in September with folders which were supposed to be used for their portfolios, many of them had to
be used to supplement supplies in the Arabic classes. We have now reached a point in the school year when portfolios need to be started.
I would be extremely grateful if you could send in any extra 40 pocket
presentation folders that we could use. Many thanks for your help and
generosity.
b) PLEASE encourage your child to learn their times tables. A small
number of children (about 6 !) know their tables well but far too many have a very poor recall. Please do all you can to help them. Thank
you.
c) There is still no sign of Al Shoug's clock.
Please have an extra look at home; it might well still be in its white box.
Thank you.
Keep practicing times tables. We will be having another quiz on Thursday so hopefully more people will get some stickers for the tables chart !

NOTE TO PARENTS:
a) Re-registration: Could I please remind parents to complete the
re-registration procedure if you wish your child to have a place in Grade Four, next year. Many thanks to those of you (7) who have already returned them.
b) We are still collecting parent surveys. Many thanks to the
15 people who have already returned them; I think it is the highest number in the primary school. Well done !
c) PLEASE encourage your child to learn their times tables. A small
number of children (about 6 !) know their tables well but far too many
have a very poor recall.
Please do all you can to help them, especially as our new unit is all about

NOTE TO PARENTS:
a) Many thanks to those of you who came on Tuesday to see me. I hope you found our conversations as useful and interesting as I did.
b) The MAP tests have now been completed although several children were off during the week, and they will have the opportunity of taking the tests when they return to school. In most cases, the children have been able to improve upon their previous scores in all three tests, which has delighted me ! However, good reading skills are vital for all three of the tests, and it was very evident that those children who have worked hardest on their reading, made the most significant improvement in all three tests.
In the light of all the scores, the importance of reading cannot be over-stated. If there is one area of your child's academic growth that you feel warrants your support more than any other, then surely it is reading.
c) Unfortunately, I have to end this message on a negative note. Last week, Al Shoug won a prize for writing a piece about our trip to Kidzania. Her work was judged alongside similar pieces from the other five classes. Al Shoug was awarded third prize, and she chose a Kidzania clock. She, consequently, left the clock in her desk having offered to let the class use it as a replacement for the broken one we presently have. However, when she went to give me the clock for mounting on the wall, it had disappeared from her desk.
The clock is blue, and has Kidzania characters as well as the company logo on its face. If you happen to find the clock in your child's possession, I should be very grateful if you would return it to the classroom. Stealing creates an unpleasant atmosphere of distrust, and I would like this matter sorted out as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.

http://www.multiplication.com/games/all-games
Reading:
Keep practicing the two books you were given on Thursday as well as
any other books you have at home.
Spelling: This week's words are: life, always, those, both, paper, pushed, sharp, shock, crash, showed, shadows.
In addition to these 11 words, five more will be added on the day of the test, which use the pattern sh. Please note that the test will be on Wednesday and not Thursday.
Unit of Inquiry: Our new unit is going very well. Bailasan and Alshoug deserve special praise for the visual images and excellent powerpoint presentations they produced. They have really helped our understanding, and their work will make a splendid addition to our display board.
Tomorrow we will be deciding what we can do and make at the actual Grade Three Marketplace (to be staged in January), in order to make money. We will then carry out some market research in a designated class from Grade Two and Grade Four. So come with plenty of creative ideas tomorrow !
NOTE TO PARENTS:
Many thanks to those of you who have sent in a photocopied version of your child's ID card. If I could receive the rest as soon as possible, I would be grateful. At present, I have only received ID cards for 10 children so I still need the other 14.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Following yesterday's incident involving the money which was taken from Leen's purse, I am happy to report that the situation has been happily resolved. Although the actual money wasn't returned to Leen, a number of pupils took it upon themselves to give her some of their own. This generous gesture is typical of the thoughtful children we have in our class. Whilst it is a shame that money had to be taken in the first place for this to happen, it does show the wonderful spirit which exists within our little community
Many thanks for your continued support.
PLEASE REMEMBER: THE CHILDREN WILL BE DISMISSED AT 1.00PM TOMORROW !!

NOTE TO PARENTS:
Following the incident with Byat's watch, I am sorry to report that there has been further upset today, this time with money being taken from Leen's pink purse. Leen had brought the money into school to spend at the souk which is situated in the blue playground. This is very upsetting, not only for Leen, but also for myself and the rest of the class. We have one of the best and nicest classes in the school but thieving is not only distasteful but it also breeds a sense of mistrust among our special little community.
If you feel that your child has come home with items from the souk for which they had not taken money to school, I would be grateful if you could help me rectify the situation. With Byat's watch, another child admitted they had made a mistake, and they were able to put it right. I sincerely hope that the same outcome is reached with this latest upset.
Many thanks for your continued support and your help with this matter.

Thursday September 20, 2012.
1. Maths: double-sided worksheet (Home Links page 28 and a page about American coins).
2. Reading - 2 new books. Different ways of using the books include:
a) shared reading (your child and an adult or older sibling take turns to read a page).
b) Your child could read their books to younger siblings. Encourage them to use different voices to emphasise expression and to build confidence.
c) If you have a dictaphone or an old tape recorder, your child could practice reading into it and then replaying it to see how well they have read.
DIFFERENT READING STAGES
Some children have suggested that they have not been given books at a high enough stage to read. They feel that they could read at a higher level. However, even though a child is able to de-code words and read fluently, it doesn't necessarily follow that they are able to understand the meaning and vocabulary of everything they have read.
If you are adamant your child should be moved to a higher stage, I will happily administer a test to see if this is indeed the case.
EMAIL ADDRESSES
During the past week, I have enjoyed receiving emails from a number of parents. If possible, I would like to compile a list of addresses for the whole class which will enable me to maximise my correspondence with you. You don't need to send a long message but I would welcome receiving your email address.
Many thanks for your continued support.
