Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable break. As we dive into the final term of the year, we’re excited for the busy but exciting weeks ahead. This term will be filled with engaging activities, important learning milestones, and plenty of opportunities for growth. From special events to finishing up projects, there’s much to look forward to, and we can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together. Let’s make the most of this final stretch and finish the year strong!

Maths 

This term, our students will explore a variety of key mathematical concepts. We’ll begin with chance and probability, where students will engage in hands-on experiments to understand the likelihood of different outcomes and learn how to represent probabilities in various ways. Following this, we’ll dive into fractions and decimals, building on their skills in comparing, ordering, and performing operations with these numbers. Finally, we will focus on mastering the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) through real-world problem-solving activities, helping students strengthen their numeracy skills and apply them confidently.

Inquiry 

In Inquiry this term, we will be focusing on the fascinating world of living things and their environments. Students will explore the unique ways animals and plants are designed to thrive in different habitats. We’ll also investigate how the growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment gaining a deeper understanding of how factors like temperature, water, and light influence life on Earth.

Religion 

This term in Religious Education, our focus will be on preparing students for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We’ll begin by deepening students’ Knowledge and Understanding of the Catholic belief in the actions of the Holy Spirit, exploring how the Spirit guides and strengthens us in our daily lives. Through Reasoning and Responding, students will interpret the work of the Holy Spirit in the world, recognising its presence in acts of kindness, justice, and service. Finally, students will reflect on how the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit contribute to their identity as believers, shaping how they live and interact with their community.
