PYP 8 News

Week of 6th March 2017

Dear Parents, Hope you all had an enjoyable break and Carnival.   This week is the last week of Unit 4 and children are putting together a visual presentation and written piece to show their understanding of the central idea that past civilisations impact upon today’s society. In Maths this week we will work in our own classes on conversion between measurements.  The following two weeks we will be focused on data entry and analysis using pie charts and line graphs.  This will be done in Exhibition groups so as children can apply this to their exhibition where appropriate. After this week, PYP 8 go into top gear as we start our Exhibition unit proper on the 13th March.  Please continue to support your children and communicate with teachers any ideas/trips before going ahead and planning these.  Raise any questions, doubts or issues you or your child have asap with class teachers and they will resolve in school.  Please remember the dates for the final presentation.

Things to remember this week…. This week is book week….. From Thursday, before and after school - school play tickets to be sold Saturday 11th March - St. Francis International Fair
