Dear 5R Families,

Thanks so much to everyone who came out today to get a snapshot of 5R’s life at school. It was lovely to see so many families enjoying and sharing their time together. Please enjoy these photos of the day.

Book Clubs!

Grade five has recently started Fantasy Book Clubs and students have gotten off to a great start. Some details are in the slideshow below, but in brief, this means that students are reading and discussing books in small groups. Each group has chosen a book, and will meet each Wednesday and Friday. In between, groups will decide on a number of chapters or pages, to read, and each student will be expected to do this reading, as well as writing a Reading Journal entry about their reading, and writing some discussion questions. They will have some time in class to do this, however, they will often also need to complete this work at home.

This home learning and responsibility comes at a perfect time, as students will slowly be getting more frequent home learning over the coming months in preparation for the transition to Middle School. The reading will not be a lot, if spread out over the week, but may be a lot for some students if left until the last night. Please support your child in being prepared for their club! Also in the slideshow below are some toolkits to support their Reading Journal entries. Thanks for supporting our readers!
