Level 5

Level  5 

Term 3 is shaping up to be fabulous! Level 5 is the place to be with a love of learning, kinder connections, Bayswater secondary excursion and family life all happening!!! These photos are from a recent kinder visit which was a wonderful bonding and learning experience for all. 

Reading

In Reading this term, we have been focused on an engaging mentor text called ‘Boy Overboard’. It has been wonderful being part of rich, deep and often passionate discussions about important themes and the world in which we live. The book links beautifully to our Inquiry topic of ‘HEPS and beyond’ as we research different cultures, countries and their connections. We have been using thinking routines to understand the text on a deeper level and respectfully challenge each other’s ideas. We are continuing to focus on developing our speaking and listening skills through a daily six minute podcast which has been full of twists, turns, suspense and surprises. 

Writing

In our writing sessions, students are learning about different forms of poetry and poetic devices that they can use to level up their writing. We have been using picture prompts to evoke amazing writing and enhance their understanding. 

Numeracy

In Maths, we are concentrating on inverse operations and algebra through open ended questions and challenges. We have been encouraging students to show their working out and justify their answers.

Respectful Relationships

In Respectful relationships our focus has been on positive coping strategies which relates beautifully to resilience. We have been encouraging our students to find the positive coping strategies that work for them so they can be at their best for growth and learning.   

Reminders

Please remind your child to bring their named white t-shirt for their production costume and check Compass regularly for events.  

Thank you for all your support,
