Year 5/6 News 

SCIENCE

The Grade 5/6 students have been working on some science projects focused on animal adaptations! They’ve been exploring how animals have developed unique traits to survive in their environments and applying that knowledge to create their own fictional animals with specialised adaptations. This hands-on approach allows them to connect scientific concepts with their creativity, and it's been fantastic to see them think critically about how traits like camouflage, body structures, and behaviours could help an animal thrive. The depth of their research, combined with their imaginative designs, really shows how well they’ve grasped the concept of adaptation and evolution. 

NAPLAN

We're thrilled to share that the Grade 5 students successfully completed the NAPLAN tests last week, and we couldn't be prouder! It's a testament to their hard work and dedication, and we're excited to see their progress. We thank parents for their support and encouragement along the way.

Gymnastics with Gary

Outside of the classroom, the Grade 5/6 students had a blast during gymnastics with Gary, where they worked on building strength, balance, and coordination in a fun and supportive environment. It’s been an exciting fortnight!

CAMP

With the Roses Gap camp just under two weeks away, students have been sent home with a hard copy of the itinerary and a packing list. For your convenience, we’ve also attached the camp information via Xuno, which includes the full itinerary and a list of items to bring.

Reminders:

Don't forget that Roses Gap Camp for Grade 5/6 is coming up in Week 10, from Monday 31st March to Thursday 3rd April 2025. Information has been sent home in hardcopy and has also been uploaded to XUNO. Please make sure to check the details and prepare for this exciting adventure! 

If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to send a message via XUNO.
