Year Five

Spotlight on Learning

Dear Bethany Families,

Week 8 has flown by and students have been busy with their wonderful learning.

They thoroughly enjoyed Multicultural Day and it was wonderful to see them in their national dress. The students looked vibrant and unique as they confidently celebrated and shared their rich cultural backgrounds. Moments like these remind us how fortunate we are to be part of the St. Thomas community, where diversity is embraced and celebrated with pride.

Next Week we are learning about...

Religious Education Focus:

Students will understand that Christians believe in one Triune God—God who is three persons in one: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

English Focus

We will continue to read The Rabbits by John Marsden, illustrated by Shaun Tan. Students will continue to develop their 'Meeting Narratives' and finish creating a character description based on a specific image.

Mathematics Focus

Next week in Mathematics, we will begin exploring 2D shapes. Students will learn how to translate (slide), reflect (flip), and rotate (turn) shapes using grids and visual strategies. These lessons will help them understand how shapes move and how their properties stay the same during transformations.

Auslan Focus

Next week in Auslan students will use a range of visual features to show the shapes of objects, the emotions of the characters and how the characters move.

Social/ Emotional Learning Focus:

Students will be looking at help seeking strategies. They will identify types of problems that they can solve independently and ones in which they may require adult help.
