Grade 5/6 Newsletter

Week 4 - What an exciting week with Twilight School!

It was wonderful to see so many parents and carers joining us in the classroom for our Twilight School evening. Students were excited to share their learning, explore activities and be creative with their families and spend time together in our school community. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a fun and memorable evening.

We also enjoyed last Friday morning, seeing Mothers and Special Adults join us for a coffee morning in the gym.

This week during Applied Literacy, the Grade 6 students have continued to draft their Information Report based on our serial read by Morris Gleitzman.  We are learning alot about the resilience of the Polish people during World War II, about the Polish culture, climate and landscape.

We have been busy taking notes, to then turn these into Single Paragraph Outlines, before we publish at the end of next week.

During Maths, the Grade 5/6 students have been learning about Fractions. We have been comparing and ordering fractions using 1/2 as a benchmark, comparing and ordering fractions  with related and unrelated denominators and find fractions that are greater or less than.

Lastly, the Grade 5 students have been learning about Personal Strengths and created posters about their special strengths.
