From the Year 5 Classroom

In Writing, the students have been working hard to plan and draft a historical fiction narrative using their knowledge of the Australian Goldfields. The purpose is to inform and entertain the reader using a range of writer's craft. 

In Reading, we are doing an author study on Jackie French. We are learning how authors use different techniques that link to their style of writing.

In Numeracy we are focusing on Area and Perimeter. Students are learning to calculate the area and perimeter of regular and irregular shapes. 

It has been pleasing to see some students use their initiative to work on activities at home from their Gold Rubric, in hope of earning Karats for our Gold Auction.
