Term 4, Week 2

We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful break and is feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting final term of the year!

Our Curriculum This Term

Literacy

This term in Literacy, students are currently completing assessments to demonstrate their learning and progress throughout the year. We will then move on to exploring voice in both reading and writing, focusing on how language, tone and expression can be used to communicate ideas and engage an audience.

Maths

This term in Mathematics, students have begun exploring angles, learning to identify, measure and classify different types of angles. Throughout the term, we will also focus on reading and converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time, collecting and interpreting data, identifying and extending number patterns, and developing financial mathematics skills through real-life scenarios.

Inquiry

This term in Inquiry, students will be designing and creating their own board games while developing skills such as coding, problem-solving and creativity. During the second half of the term, Year 5 students will participate in a leadership unit, exploring the qualities and responsibilities of effective leaders.
