4ème et 5ème année

Dear Parents,

The G4/5 have started their fourth unit of the year on January 13th 2015. The new unit is a Stand-Alone unit called "Journeys". The central idea is: Journeys we take can lead to discovery and develop new understandings. We will be working on the concepts of form, causation and connection. The lines of inquiry are: the journeys to different places, the discoveries of journeys and different places and the new understandings we develop. Our main language focus will be about places we can visit (during holidays) and the activities we do during those holidays.

Here is the vocabulary list of this unit. You can review the words with your child to ensure retention.




Bonne revision!

We will be working on the concepts of form and connection. The lines of inquiry are: the different places in our community and how the different places are connected to one another. Our main language focus will be about directions (how to go from one place to another and understanding when directions are being given orally).

Here is the vocabulary list of the places and directions we have learned so far. You can review the words with your child to ensure retention.

Dear Parents,
Our first unit of the year is an integrated unit called “Belief Systems”. The central idea is that Understanding our own and other people’s beliefs and values help us to respect each other. We will be working on the concepts of form and connection. The lines of inquiry are: the different belief systems and celebrations of those belief systems. In this unit, your child will learn about vocabulary and sentence patterns to describe the different belief systems in various countries, to talk about their own belief system and the celebrations that are part of their lives.
Here below is the vocabulary list for this unit. You can review the words and sentence patterns with your child to ensure retention.




Thank you,
