Year 5-6

Check out what we have been up to lately!

Religion:

We have been learning all about life during the time of Jesus. Students have researched and developed their understanding of what Palestine looked like during this time, as well as the people who lived there, the social environment and what political issues were present. 

Students are creating street views of Jerusalem during this time, focusing on the market stalls, architecture and geographical features.

Literacy:

Our focus this term is information writing. We have been using novel study of Morris Gleitzman's book, Once, which is set in Poland to guide this. 

Students enjoy listening to the story read, reading it to a partner and understanding life for the Jewish people during WW2. We then have been focusing on creating our own information reports about Poland, focusing on paragraph structure and writing techniques. 

Numeracy

The focus this term is multiplicative thinking. We have been revisiting our multiplication facts and building a foundation of multiplication and division skills so that students can follow an algorithm to solve these efficiently.

The Resilience Project.

Athletics

Our recent representatives of District Athletics. 

We have had students successful in Division and Regional stages with Logan making it all the way to State!! We wish Logan all the best with his events in a few weeks time!

Cake Raffle Volunteers

We would love students/parents/grandparents to be a part of our cake making team. Every assembly, we draw a raffle for a cake/slice/biscuits and children love being a part of the 

competition. If you would be interested in contributing, could you please send us an email and we can add you to a roster.

School Uniform, Water and Hats

Just a reminder about our school uniform policy. 

• The expectation is that ALL students have their own hat at school with their name on it. 
• Students need to wear green socks and black shoes when we do not have PE or Bluearth. 
• Earrings need to be studs or sleepers.
• No nail polish or necklaces.  No Makeup
• White socks and runners on PE and Bluearth days.
• Hair that reaches the collar needs to be tied back.
• Only water is to be brought to school.

If this is unable to be achieved on a particular day, please write a note or email to your child's classroom teacher.
