Working in small groups
The use of groups of people to accomplish goals is prevalent in society and they exist in business situations, social or religious gatherings, in sports and, of course, in classrooms.
Small group work is one way of ensuring active participation of students. Group work enables students to move from receiving knowledge to generating knowledge. Through talk students are able to personalize this knowledge and scaffold their thinking processes and understandings.

Why Reading Matters
Why Reading Matters
by Barbara Freedman-De VitoBooks Help Children Develop Vital Language Skills
Reading is an important skill that needs to be developed in children. Not only is it necessary for survival in the world of schools and (later on) universities, but in adult life as well. The ability to learn about new subjects and find helpful information on anything from health problems and consumer protection to more academic research into science or the arts depends on the ability to read.
Reading Can Open Up New Worlds and Enrich Children's Lives
As mentioned above, reading opens doors - doors to factual information about any subject on earth, practical or theoretical. Given the wealth of available resources such as Internet, libraries, schools and bookstores, if children can read well and if they see reading as a source of information, then for the rest of their lives they will have access to all of the accumulated knowledge of mankind, access to all of the great minds and ideas of the past and present. It truly is magic!
Through books and stories, children can also learn about people and places from other parts of the world, improving their understanding of and concern for all of humanity. Through stories and novels children can vicariously try out new experiences and test new ideas, with no negative consequences in their real lives.
Reading Can Enhance Children's Social Skills
Although reading is thought of as the quintessential solitary activity, in certain circumstances reading can be a socializing activity. For example, a parent or grandparent reading a story aloud, whether from a traditional printed book or from an ebook, can be a great opportunity for adult and child to share some quiet, relaxed quality time together away from the rush and stresses of the business of daily living.
Reading Can Improve Hand-Eye Coordination
It may sound funny, but ebooks can be a way for children to improve their fine motor skills and their hand-eye coordination, as they click around a child friendly website or click the backward and forward buttons of online story pages. They may also be picking up valuable computer skills that they'll need in school and later in life.
Reading Can Provide Children with Plenty of Good, Clean Fun
I've saved the most important point for last. Reading can provide children with endless hours of fun and entertainment. All of the pragmatic reasons above aren't at all necessary to justify reading's place in children's lives. Stories can free up imaginations and open up exciting new worlds of fantasy or reality. They allow children to dream and may give them a good start on the road to viewing reading as a lifelong source of pleasure; so read to your young children every day.
So Reading Really Does Matter After All

Grade 5 Student-Led Conferences
On Wednesday April 28th we had our Student-led conferences where we had the opportunity to report the results of our work in the first term to our parents. We demonstrated to be reflective, independent and responsible for our own progress. We also set new goals for the second term which will help us improve our performance.
This term some Grade 5 A students carried out their conferences using Power Point. The experience was so good that we will all prepare our conferences this way in the third term. This will be an opportunity to integrate and apply skills we have learned in ICT making the conference more interactive.
