• Good copy of play
• POI project for Science Fair

Study for Maths test on Tuesday 12th (changed from 7th June)

• Remember what we talked about on Monday. Part of the test will be: make a prism and pyramid 3D shape from a net, name, how many faces, how many edges, how many vertices? 

Lotta, our school nurse will be having two health talks with the girls this and next week. We are trying to book a time for the boys as well, but no time as has been set yet.

On Friday, we hope to see you at our Science Fair, between 10.40-12.30!

Next week we will go to Slottsskogen on Monday for a sports day. Students will need to bring a packed lunch with them and appropriate clothing for run around outside. If anyone wants to join us, please let me know. This is a full school event, which means all teachers and students are going to Slottsskogen this day.

On Thursday next week we will be canoeing all day. We'll leave school straight away and head out to Vättlefjälls kanotpool. There we'll get the canoes and life-wests and head out on the lake. It will be me, Camilla, Peter, Joel, John Stanich and Jim Thompson. Three of these teachers are PE teachers, and two are swimming instructors as well. We will be canoeing together, and we will not be out on open water. We will be in pretty small lakes with lots of little islands. If you want to have a look at the lakes and the surrounding, click here. There will be 3 students in each canoe. We will then head out to a nice island and stop for lunch. We will bring a grill and hot dogs and buns for everyone. Students only need to bring a snack and something to drink. Depending on the weather and how brave they are, they can bring swimming clothes.

A great day of Orienteering

taking it easy on the whale

Last Friday all of Year 5 had a day of orienteering in slottskogen. Everyone was put into mixed groups of four with some people having to use a mix of Swedish and English to communicate with their group. Each group had to find 10 spots on the map and take a photo of their whole group in front. We have requested photos from the students, so as soon as I get some photos I'll post them up.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL SONG

Hear the sound of school bell ring

Only meaning one important thing (Hey!)

SCHOOLZ OUT!

We’re all getting outta here today!

Hear us all singing straight in key

To our version of "Green Day’s Holiday"

  Guess what? (Hey!)

  We’re all having so much fun today!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

Can’t wait ‘till summer starts (Hey!)

 Then we’re free to do what we want (Hey!)

 And we can chill out every other day!

 I’m gonna miss ISGR

 And everyone who’s made us get this far (Hey!)

Friends, Teachers we will miss you all!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

(Random dancing during interval)

lyrics by Ananya and Jade

Language outside

Yesterday we spent the morning working outside in the sun. We had a great time sitting on the rocks, grass and even in the trees! After reading time (DEAR), we had some fun warm-up activites to get us ready for writing and performing some short plays.

coming events and week 19 in review

At 2.30pm last Friday I sat down  and thought about how good it felt to have completed and gotten through most of the events and disruptions this Spring. It was nice to feel that the only things we had left was no school on the 17 & 18 of May,...our visit to  MYP 6 on the 24th of May,...Orienteering day with LPO 5 on the 31st May.....It was at this point that it dawned on me that we STILL have so much to do between now and the end of the year! So here is a list of the things (so far planned) to come;

• (week 20) 17 & 18 of May, the school is closed
• (week 21) Transition Day; Between 9.30-11.30 all of year five will go up and visit MYP 6 so that the students get a feel for the other school and meet the year 6 teachers.
• (week 22) Orienteering; on the 31 May PYP and LPO 5 will be teaming up in Slottsskogen for a day of orienteering and fun.
• (week 23) 8 June; PYP 5 will be having a Science Fair to show off our projects from our latest Inquiry unit. All are welcome!
• (week24) Last day performance by year 5 at the last day of school assembly on 15 June.

Week 19 in review:

Year 5 had a HUGE week last week. On Monday we won all of our three games at the football tournament, this qualified us for the 'gold finals' on the Friday. Then on Thursday we spent most of the day rehearsing for the spring show. We were all back in the afternoon to sell drinks and cakes to audience. Then after a quick fire three weeks of training for our play it was our turn to perform . Even with all the stress of stage fright, forgotten lines, broken  props and lost scripts everyone had a good time and performed very well.

On Friday we all meet at Heden extra early for our first game of the gold finals. In the first game, the other school had a bit of luck to score two goals to our one after we had the ball most of the game. We ended up losing the last two games to some very good teams. To our credit we played hard and fair and only let in a few goals. Everyone looked tired from a long week and from a late night on Thursday but I think they finished on Friday feeling happy that they all had tried their best and had fun in the process.
