5S Christmas Party!

We had a fabulous Christmas Party yesterday in 5S. The children loved giving and receiving their Secret Santa gifts! They opened the gifts one at a time and everyone was excited to see all the lovely gifts their classmates received. After the gift opening, we had some delicious treats (many thanks to those parents who sent in treats and drinks) and watched "Santa Buddies". A good time was had by all!

Christmas Concert

Congratulations to all the girls and boys for an absolutely brilliant concert last night. They worked so incredibly hard and I am immensely proud of them. Well done, 5S!

Christmas Concert Reminder

Dear Parents,

Our Christmas Concert is this Thursday 10th December at 6pm in the gym. The following is a message from Miss Ninan regarding what the children must wear:

Boys: Black dress pants, black socks, black dress shoes, t-shirt provided by the school

Girls: Black dress pants or knee length skirt, black socks or nylons, black dress shoes with low heel, t-shirt provided by the school Should you wish to do so, black dress pants can be purchased from the Cambridge Uniform Shop.

There will be a few individual parts in which costumes will be provided by the school.

There will be a dress rehearsal on the morning of the 10th, so please send students to school with their black bottoms (pants or skirt) and uniform top. They will be given their t-shirt at school.

The children should arrive between 5.15pm and 5.30pm (no later than 5.30pm, please).

The children have been working so hard--I am really looking forward to seeing them shine on Thurday! Mrs. Scobie

Absolutely FABULOUS Iqbal Dioramas!

WOW. I was blown away today when the boys and girls walked through the door with their amazing dioramas. I can really tell how much effort went into this project and I thank you very much for all your support at home. Here are some photos of the projects. Have a lovely weekend!

Picasso Project

On Friday, the boys and girls completed an art project in the style of Pablo Picasso. We read a story called "Picasso and the Girl with the Ponytail" and discussed his many styles of painting and sculpting. The children created two faces, which they cut into pieces in order to construct one face in the style of Picasso. The results were fantastic! Here are some some photos.

Working on our Iqbal Character Sketch Projects

The children are hard at work on their projects on a character of their choice from our class novel, Iqbal. They are conducting research on-line as well as from their novels and class work to date. Here are some photos of the boys and girls preparing notes on their character.

You will have seen a "home" Iqbal assignment come home last night (a pink sheet of paper). The children have been asked to research the layout of Hussain Khan's factory (using their novels) and create a diorama. They must also write a paragraph explaining how they constructed their project. This is due Friday 4th December.

Our Classroom: Update

Here are a few photos of some of the children's work and artwork decorating our classroom. Enjoy!
