A Note From the Teacher

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents/ Guardians,


Welcome back! I hope you had a restful
and enjoyable Winter Break. We are now heading
into the second term at IFS.
A couple of memos regarding math:
Students are asked to practice their timetables
(2-7). Testing and multiplication challenges will
begin in class. Please practice these with your
child regularly to develop confidence.
In a few weeks, we will be beginning the
measurement unit this unit has concepts
(telling time, counting money, etc.) that can
prove challenging for even Level 4 students.
You can help your child be successful in this
unit by practising these things with your child
at home before the unit begins. For example,
have your child count the change in his/her
piggy bank, ask your child what the time is,
what time it was/will be in 30 minutes.
Be sure to check out our classs website below:
www.shezz3b201415.weebly.com
Here, you will find photos of students participating
in a range of activities, along with other
information about E.Q.A.O and the curriculum.
Both you and your child can feel free to leave a
comment on the website.
Sincerely,
Br. Shehzad
