WHAT’S HAPPENING IN 5KP?
We are completing our Charlie assignments over LA time this week and I have given the class an extension until Tuesday the 29thof May as they have been generally using their time very well and would benefit from the extra weekend on the project.
All students have completed their Nutritious Meal projects. Each student has now presented their project to the rest of the class and been given back an assessment sheet where they can see where their strengths and weaknesses were. Overall I am extremely proud of the effort the class have made and I have been overwhelmed with positive feedback from parents over the bonding that took place during the project, what great news!
In Social Studies we have finished our unit on the 13
Colonies. I was very happy with the effort and planning that many of the
students put into their group activity. Well done 5KP, your presentation skills
are really developing and I am glad you learnt so much.
In Math we completed Unit 11 and are halfway through unit 12. We should complete the final chapter next week and I plan to do the test next Friday June 1st.
Grade 5 Stepping Up Assembly
The Grade 5 Stepping Up assembly is happening this Thusday at 9 am in the lecture theatre
near the H/S library. I encourage you all to come out and get information from
Mr. Munnerlyn about the expectations required from your child when entering
middle school. This session is due to finish at around 10.30 am.
SAs pudong Yearbook
The SAS Pudong
Yearbook is on sale now. Envelopes were given to your child last Friday. During
the month of May they are RMB230, but in June they are RMB260. So get your
envelope returned ASAP!
Thanks
Thanks to all
the parents for the Teacher Appreciation Lunch last Thusday. Teachers were very
impressed (like they are every year) with the awesome spread. It seems to get
bigger and bigger every year. THANK YOU!
Elementary Track and Field Day
The Elementary
Track and Field Days have been split to lower elementary and upper elementary.
The upper elementary Track and Field Day is on Wednesday 23 May.
Don’t forget
to wear your House shirts and come on out for a great day of fun activities!

Volunteers

The parents of 5KP have been very visible and
active in the school. Dr. Larkin would like to recognize you for your great
efforts. As per the written notice in the Parent Talk two weeks ago, please RSVP
today if you can attend the May 24 at 3pm service in the Secondary School Lobby. You are to contact

ThankYOU
It was a
wonderful opportunity to get together with the majority of the class yesterday,
also their siblings and parents and so a big thankyou goes out to Letitia’s mum
and dad, Theressa and Young for opening up their home and hearts to us. It was
greatly appreciated by everyone. Thankyou to those that organised this event,
brought along food and attended. Your kind words towards your children were
very touching and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of your child’s
elementary school experience.
