ISA Tests are Over!
Yay! Well done everyone - you all worked so hard. No one likes doing tests, and you were all such troopers.
Now back to reality! We're all back to normal days once again tomorrow.
A big thank you to all the parents who came to see me over the past few days at the parent conferences - it was so good to meet up with you and I do value all the support and encouragement you have for our class.
Some reminders for 5B
Don't forget that on Monday you will all be showing your country PowerPoint presentations in the theatre, so bring your USB's with your slide shows on them! I can't wait to see them - you have all worked really hard on them, so they will be great!
You will also need to prepare for your weekly oral Caravan presentations over the weekend.
Okay! Happy Friday!

Investigating Cultures of The World!
Today, if you had happened to have been walking past 5B's classroom, you would have heard a cacophony of sounds: The beating drums from African Tribal music, or the bass strange noises from the Didgeridoo, amid a variety of phrases being said aloud in languages such as Finnish, Swahili or Arabic and on top of all that, squeals from students who were trying new and very weird (to them) foods!
No, it was not the noises of an asylum, but from a very productive and fun lesson on a discovery of different cultures as part of our 'Caravans' unit.
The three teams were competing at various activities in order to work out what countries different pieces of music, samples of food and languages came from.
This work is the first in a project that the students will be producing in order to design an International Food Court for a local imaginary mall. Students will be designing the restaurants, the decor, the menus and any other areas they feel necessary to make their food courts the best!
At the moment, it can honestly be said that Social Studies is the students' most enjoyable lessons of the week.
At the moment, 'The World Conquerors' have made the most money on their adventures, 'The Mighty Shark Fins' have visited the most cities in the world and 'The US Marine Adventurers' who have been rather unlucky of late with their 'fate cards', are working really hard to stack up their money piles and move across the globe!
Keep watching for more updates on 'Caravans'.
Below are some photos of our special lesson!
Fidelia is hesitant to try the guacamole, Gaby sticks to the tortilla chips, Hee Won very studiously writes down his results, whilst David giggles at his English Fudge!
Jonathan tries, unsuccessfully, it looks, to persuade the others to have a try of the rice dish! Giomino was so good at trying everything - even if he did have to spit out the vegemite sandwich!
The great puzzle of where to place the last few phrases - is this Danish? Finnish? German? ...or maybe it's Tagalog!
Lennart trying to stop Jin Hee from eating all the tortilla chips - "We have to try EVERYTHING...not just the nice things!"

Food Allergies
Monday October 6th
Dear 5B Parents,
Tomorrow (Tuesday 7th October), as part of our Social Studies ‘Caravans’ unit, our class will be taking part in a ‘Cultures of The World’ lesson. This lesson will consist of students learning about different languages of the world, music from around the world and food from around the world.
The students will be introduced to some different foods to look at, taste, discuss and then they will write about their experiences.
Would you be kind enough to alert me to any food allergies your child might have? I have made sure that there are no major food allergens in the samples (i.e. eggs, peanuts, strawberries) but would like to make sure that your child is as safe as possible so would really appreciate you sending back the form your child will hand to you. You can email me also, if this is preferable.
Thank you very much,
Sincerely,
Kathryn Beck
