Year Five Llama Get To Know You!
In Year Five, students have made a fantastic return to school.
It has been a pleasure getting to know each student and wonderful to hear all about the amazing adventures they have had over the summer holidays.
In Math’s, we have started exploring place value and using measurement. Students enjoyed measuring their classrooms to create a scaled map.
In literacy, we have been looking at persuasive writing and persuasive structure. Students are creating entertaining arguments, for example, why students should have longer or shorter summer holidays.
A reminder for students to bring their iPads charged each day and for students to read every night. As it is still summer, if students could bring their hats each day and have their water bottles.
Looking forward to an amazing year ahead,
Melissa Kah and Tim Andrews
