In fifth grade we have many subject areas like Math, writing, social studies and science. Important topics are: division, multiplication, and fractions. In writing, we wrote stories and presented them for our class and we wrote about our countries. In Science, we do a fun gummy bear project and learn about plants. For Social Studies, we learn about explorers. We research them and explain to the class. Our biggest project is our Living Museum. We read and write about a country, take notes and research, and then present. It's very busy, but also fun!

Singing by the campfire, roasting marshmallows and climbing and rolling down a jebel. RVIS camping is the best. On the last Wednesday of February we all go out on our bus ready for adventure. All our bags should be packed with sleeping bags, clothes,toothbrushes,shoes, and tents. Once we get to the desert in southern Bahrain we unload and start making tents. After the tents we have a little time to play and maybe do a scavenger hunt. In the evening we tell spooky stories and eat hot dogs. The next day we take an adventure before we go back to school. As you heard camping is amazing and I hope you have fun when you go!
