Year Five - Spotlight on Learning
Bethany Community
Dear Families,
This week, our students participated in the National Assessment Program – Writing, Reading and Conventions of Language (NAPLAN). The students approached the assessments with great perseverance and dedication, and we are proud of their hard work and effort.
Next week we are learning about...
Religious Education Focus:
Next week students will continue exploring the inquiry statement, "We weren't made for Comfort, we were made for Greatness" through the lens of Project Compassion.
English Focus
Students will be beginning a new book called "How Was That Built" by Roma Agarwal. We will complete grammar, vocabulary and comprehension tasks related to the text. For writing, students will be identify the purpose, structure, and language features of explanation texts. We will also guide them in planning and writing a strong introduction to engage their readers.
Mathematics Focus
Next week, students will be learning to solve problems involving area and will investigate the connection between area and perimeter.
Auslan Focus
In Auslan, students will learn some verb signs including "excuse me", "right or wrong", "copy me", " Lord hear our prayer" and "Amen". They will understand that each sign has a specific handshape, location and movement and a change in these features change the meaning of the sign.
Social/ Emotional Learning Focus
Students will learn about personal and cultural strengths. They will understand respect, rights and responsibility, and the ways that Australians can ‘walk together’ as they respect different cultures. Students will also be learning how to use the continuum to help them better understand and identify their feelings. This tool will support students in recognizing their emotions and learning how to manage them effectively.
