Year Five - Spotlight on Learning
Bethany Community
Dear Families,
What a fantastic week it has been in Grade 5! Students completed NAPLAN and should feel proud of their hard work. We also celebrated Harmony Day with a vibrant splash of orange, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and respect. It was wonderful to see everyone embracing the spirit of unity!
Next week we are learning about...
Religious Education Focus:
Students will be making connections between the principles of Catholic Social Teaching and how we are invited to respond to God’s love for ourselves and others. In groups, they will create a presentation about Project Compassion's work and prepare to present this to the class in Week 10.
English Focus
We will continue reading our text 'How Was That Built?' and plan and write the first body paragraph of our explanation texts. Students will focus on describing the initial phase of how skyscrapers are built.
Mathematics Focus
Students will begin learning about data. They will explore how to create and interpret dot plots, identify different types of variables, and calculate the mode of a data set. Students will also learn to recognize the shape of data distributions to better understand how data is organized and analyzed.
Auslan Focus
We will be reviewing our Unit 2 learning and begin our end of cycle assessment.
Social/ Emotional Learning Focus
Students will focus on emotional regulation. They will learn to use a body scan to identify their emotions and practice the five-finger breathing technique to manage them. Students will also explore personal and cultural strengths that promote fairness and inclusion, reflecting on how their strengths contribute to a respectful community.
