Literacy

In Literacy we will be exploring different forms of poetry, advertising with a persuasive lens and information reports. We will be focussing on identifying the intended audience, author’s purpose, vocabulary, and accuracy of information sources. The students will create various poems, a filmed advertisement and research, plan and compose information reports on a chosen topic.

Maths

The Year 5’s will be exploring several topics this term in Maths. In Number, the students will be focussing on comparing, ordering, adding, and subtracting fractions and converting them into decimals and percentages. In the area of Measurement and Geometry, the students will be exploring angles and choosing appropriate units for measuring length, mass, and capacity of objects. In Statistics and Probability, students will be identifying the likelihood of events occurring and acquiring data through chance experiments to represent in a graphical format.

Inquiry

In Inquiry, the students will explore the impact science has on their daily lives and their environment. Through a series of investigations and experiments, students will explore states of matter, light and electricity. They will also attend an excursion at Scienceworks on Thursday 6th June to participate in the ‘Lights, Energy, Action’ program.

Wellbeing

In Term 2, students will continue to participate in Daily Mindfulness as part of the ongoing Peaceful Kids Program. They will also attend the Life Education Program, focussing on issues around vaping and smoking. In Wellbeing sessions, the Year 5’s will develop positive coping strategies and problem solving skills through the Respectful Relationships program.
