Dear Parents,
As part of our Social Studies, students have been asked to get an English newspaper to use to complete certain questions. The answers to the activities are only required for after Chinese New Year, thus giving them about three weeks to complete the activities.
Could you please assist me in buying any English newspaper to enable them to complete this.
Once they have cut out the articles required, the remainder of the paper could be brought to class, which we will use for many other activities in all subject areas. If you are unable to get a paper, please let me know so that I can make an alternative arrangement.
Regards,
Ms. Barry

Welcome to 2010!
Dear Parents,
A "Warm" Welcome to 2010! I hope you all rested well and were able to enjoy some good family time!
Fossil Presentations:
You need to talk about the things that one can discover by looking at the fossil. So, maybe what kind of animal/plant/thing it is. Talk about some of the features about the animal/plant, for example, maybe it has wings(animal), or a flower (plant). Look at what the Paleontologists learn by looking at fossils, if you need more ideas. Lastly you must say something about how you made the fossil. Materials you used and so on.
The presentation must be short and to the point. Maximum time allowed will be 1 and a half minutes. NO poster is required, only the model of the fossil.
