Level 5 & 6 Wonga Weekly

🌿 WEEK NINE LEARNING

📸LEARNING SNAPSHOTS

Students have been working hard over the past two weeks to complete learning snapshots to share with you all. Your child will bring a letter home this week that will enable you to view their learning snapshots on Showbie. 

🌱LITERACY 

This week, students will become experts in a field of their choice and share their new knowledge with their peers. This process will involve researching and summarising information from reputable sources. They will then present this information in an engaging and meaningful way. 

What you can do at home

Help your child to set aside time to read - preferably every night. This will help them build important learning habits. You may also want to discuss what they are reading with them, focussing on identifying interesting vocabulary. You might like to read about current events on kidsnews.com.au and ask your child to share their opinions about the topic. 

🌱 NUMERACY 📸 

GRADE 5:

In Maths this week, Grade 5s will continue to explore their understanding of place value and the properties of number. 

GRADE 6:

This week, Grade 6 students will continue to use their knowledge of integers (positive and negative numbers) to investigate how to plot coordinates on a cartesian plane. 

What you can do at home

When discussing a Mathletics question together, talk through the importance of slowing down to understand the problem at hand. It may be the language that gives clues about how to solve the problem or it could be a multi-step problem. This will assist in your child understanding which formula to use to find an answer.

🌱HOMEWORK

Encourage your child to log onto Mathletics and explore activities related to: 

Grade 5 - Place Value

Grade 6 - Integers and the cartesian plane

Your child will receive a new set of login details for Mathletics and Reading Eggspress this week. This means that they will have specific homework set for them in Term 2.
