Grade 5 & 6
Term 4, Week 2
We hope that you all had a restful holiday and are looking forward to an exciting term 4.
Our Curriculum This Term
In this term's Reader's and Writer's Workshops, we are focusing on exploring different perspectives in traditional fairy tales. We are also continuing to do Author’s Chair which showcases students' published writing pieces.
Maths
Currently in Maths we are learning how to use and interpret timetables. Later on in the term we will be focusing on fractions, decimals and percentages.
Inquiry
In this term's Inquiry unit, we are investigating how we can showcase our deep knowledge of a topic we are passionate about. Our Grade 5 students will then move on to complete a Leadership Unit, which prepares all Grade 5 students for the responsibilities of moving into Grade 6 and their final year of Primary School. Our Grade 6 students will spend time preparing for graduation.
Reminders
Please ensure that your child brings a hat to school this term. Icy pole sales happen in Term 1 and Term 4 of school. Icy poles will be $2 each. Please send your children to school with coins only and no large notes, as we cannot accept them.
