Monday!!

Have a wonderful night, 5D!

We began our Poetry unit today and learned about and played around with three poetic devices: similes, alliteration and onomatopoeia! Tonight, please work together on the pink poetry page -- building a "Silly Side-by-Side Poem"! Make sure to make your couplets rhyme! This will be shared with your classmates on Wednesday - be sure to have it completed!

Also coming home tonight are the guidelines for the Term Two Poem Report. Make note of your presentation date and plan your time accordingly! I am so excited to see the types of poems you are drawn to and to hear your analysis. More information will follow - including how to indicate the rhyme scheme and how to create a Power Point presentation! We will practice this computer skill before the Christmas holidays.

We are attending the Festive Store tomorrow, so be sure to bring your money, shopping slip and bag!

Spelling - the yellow sheet is due on Thursday, please.

Math - Problem Solving for 5D - complete question 8 (Dominic has twice as many...) and question 12 (Katy is 16 years younger....), due next Monday. Come to see me for extra help between now and then if you have tried your strategies of diagrams, labels and charts and still aren't sure how to solve it!

Come in your full PE kit, and bring your uniform. Enjoy the sunshine!
