Grade 5 & 6
Term 4, Week 10
What a term and amazing end to the year we have had! This term has been jam packed with learning and extracurricular activities. We have seen our Grade 5’s participate in our Leadership Unit, preparing them for Grade 6. Our Grade 6’s have participated in the staff vs student Dodgeball and Basketball match, along with many students across the two year levels participating in the Dodgeball tournament. There’s been a school Disco, Evening of Music, Step Up and Graduation.
As the year comes to an end we want to thank you for your ongoing support in our classrooms and across the school year. We want to wish our Graduating Grade 6’s all the very best as they take on a new chapter in their schooling life. We hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas and New Years break and we look forward to seeing you around the school in 2025!
Literacy:
In literacy our focus has been on poetry, analysing texts, language features and letter writing. Students have been working hard to complete and finalise their Writers Gift’s which they are all extremely proud of.
Numeracy:
In Numeracy we have explored Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. We also investigated Probability, understanding the likelihood of events occurring and analysing outcomes. Lastly, we explored Patterns and Algebra, focusing on identifying patterns, creating rules, and solving equations to develop a foundational understanding of algebraic thinking.
Inquiry:
This term our Grade 5’s participated in a Leadership Unit, preparing them for being the Leaders of the School as they enter Grade 6. Our Grade 6 students have spent time preparing for Graduation and reflecting on their time at BPS.
