Year 5/6 Team News
with Christina, Edan, Molly, Melati, Laura & Matt
Williamstown Primary School
Hello Year 5/6 families,
We hope all the students had a lovely time at camp. We want to give a huge shout-out to the parents who volunteered their time, as well as the staff who organised and attended the camp as many gave up time with their families to ensure a great time was had by all.
What's Coming up in the Classroom in Term 4:
Reading: In Weeks 5 & 6, reading will include inquiry-based reading on inventions and the design process. We will also begin comparing texts and viewing material to understanding how authors achieve their purpose.
Writing: In Weeks 5 & 6, students will focus on procedural writing. They will begin to explore what makes an effective procedure and develop their own procedure and publish this text.
Numeracy: In Weeks 5 & 6, students will continue working on consolidating the 4 operations by solving equations using BODMAS. They are also refining skills in solving for an unknown quantity using inverse operations.
Inquiry: In Weeks 5&6, students will not have a hands-on lesson due to the curriculum days and interschool lacrosse. They will be able to make connections between their group project and the reading tasks.
