2/3

A note on chapter and unit tests.

I realize that there seems a lot of testing in class and so I just wanted to add a

brief explanation. At the end of each chapter or unit in the various subjects we

have summative checks to see that the children have understood the material

theyve covered. These periodic tests offer us insight into their progress and it

also serves to reinforce and solidify the information thats been taught.

The school uses continuous assessment as a means of recording the students

progress, so these chapter/unit tests contribute towards these marks. Ill explainmore about this when the school report cards are ready for issue.

We do revise the topics before we test the children in them, so if youre ever

feeling that you have too much on and cant revise something with your child

thats fine, as we do cover some revision in class.

I only notify in advance, and provide details of whats happening, because

from my experience I know that there are some parents who do want to give

additional preparation at home. So rather than have someone feel that theywere unaware of what was happening in the class, I prefer to keep you all as up

to speed with whats happening as I can.

I apologize if it seems burdensome at times, as a parent myself I realize the

time that can be spent in assisting your child at home. Thank you.

Maths End of Chapter 3 Test Wednesday 30th December 2009

We will have the end of chapter 3 test on Wednesday, inshaAllah. Please helpyour son prepare for this by revising the skills found in the topics below with

him. The maths homework book mirrors the lessons that we cover in class and

it is sufficient to use for preparing for the chapter test.

These topics are basically different strategies used for addition, so the key

point is to ensure that your son has at least one method that hes confident in

for adding.

I have also put a copy of an example (not the actual test) of how the chapter

test will look on the class website in the maths section.

Adding in Any Order 30

Adding 1, 2 or 3 31

Adding Using a Number Line 32

Extra Information 33

Doubles 34

Science Project

Id like the children to design and make at home a poster or display showing

the life cycle of an animal or plant of their choice. This is based upon the work

were doing in chapter 4 of the science book.

Id like these submitted for marking and display in the classroom on or

before Wednesday 5th January 2010.

Examples would be the life cycles of the frog or the butterfly. Where the child

draws and labels a picture of the animal at each stage and links them with

arrows to depict how it changes.

An alternative idea would be where the child draws the life cycle of a human

and includes a photograph of themselves as a baby, followed by a photograph

of how they look now, then a drawing of how they imagine theyd look at age

25 and another drawing of how they imagine theyd look at age 60.

Extra marks will be awarded for work that is clearly their own. I much prefer to

see that a student has tried to draw a picture himself than that an adult has

drawn it for him. Also, please note I dont want work that is merely an exact

scan and print of a page from the book. Id like to see that the children have

tried to find and assemble their own pictures or made drawings themselves.

Please ensure that their name is visible on the front of the piece. I thank you in

advance for your help and look forward to seeing some creative pieces.
