Year 5/6

We have had a very busy start to Term 2 in our 5/6 Community, visiting Grovedale Secondary College for a transition day, GRIP Leadership Conference for our leaders, SSA Athletics and we have many other activities on the agenda throughout the term. 

English

Over the last three weeks in English, students have been analysing and writing different forms of poetry, including Haikus, Limericks and Concrete Poems. This has culminated in the students writing their on poetry books on a theme of their choice, which they will then read to some of our Prep students.

Maths

In maths, students have been discovering a range of strategies used to solve addition, subtraction and multiplication problems. Student have been creating anchor chart, playing games and creating their own games to practise these skills. 

Humanities

This term in Humanities, we are learning about Economics and Business and what a successful business looks like and the different types of businesses and industries around us. We will be running our annual Market Day stalls in the 2nd last week of Term 2, there will be more details to follow.

Visit to Grovedale College

On Thursday the 18th of April, our 5/6 students were fortunate enough to visit Grovedale College to get a sneak peak on how life in a secondary school operates. They were able to experience different subjects such as Sports Academy, Woodwork, Science and Art. It was a wonderful experience for the students and a helpful insight into the next stage of their schooling.
