Mathematics
This term in Mathematics, students have been exploring natural numbers, with a focus on number properties and patterns. They have investigated prime and composite numbers and developed their understanding of the properties that define square and triangular numbers. Students are now beginning to explore how patterns can be created and extended using algorithms, strengthening their problem-solving and reasoning skills.
Reading & Writing
This term in Literacy, students have been exploring narrative texts and developing their skills in predicting and inferring. They have demonstrated strong critical thinking when responding to texts studied in class, using evidence to support their ideas. Students have also been learning how authors build suspense and engage readers through effective narrative techniques. A key focus has been on improving their writing by showing events, thoughts, and feelings through descriptive language, rather than simply telling the reader what is happening.
Theme
This term in Theme, students have been exploring the key events and functions of the Australian Parliament and deepening their understanding of what democracy means. They have also been learning about past Prime Ministers and their contributions, gaining insight into how leadership shapes the nation.
