Newsletter Week 49

Newsletter Week 49

Dear Parents,

This week has been fun week for the children. The trip to the opera was great. The visit to the Ungdomenshus in Rinkeby was fun too. It was quite crowded as it was a meeting between so many schools.

Quizzes
The quizzes have been administered. The biology results were quite good. I will give the children feedback for Mathematics as soon as I get it.

Homework
The children will start with multiplication. There is a link with a multiplication song on the school blog. For homework the children who have completed Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication can do page Matte Borgen pages (106-109).

English
Each child will borrow a book from the of their choice. Read the book and prepare to talk about it. Parents can steer what books they recommend for their children to read since the class sets we have at school may evoke reactions.

Natural Sciences .
We continue to study Chemistry. If I find an interesting and valid link then I will put it on the blog for he children.

Extra Errands.
Extra errands outside our responsibilities may be difficult for teachers to run due to booked high priority lists of things to do.

Kindest Regards

Jacqueline Zettergren

About the class

Class 6b is a bi-lingual class consisting of 17 students. The languages of instructions are 50% English and 50% Swedish. The children hail mainly from families with one parent from an Anglophone country and another from Sweden. The children predominantly speak English during their free times.
The multicultural diversity makes the class a stimulating environment for children enhancing fruitful ,cultural and academic exchange. The class is a part of Grade 6a and 6c located strategically adjacent to one another enabling easy cooperation, interaction and application of similar routines.

Before entry to classes the teachers of the 6th grade classes have a ceremonial welcome to the children into the classroom. This gesture is an opportunity for the teachers not only to warmly welcome the children to the class but also to identify that all children are in a receptive mood for studies.
