Grade 5
Wellbeing / SWPBS
In preparation for Grade 6 next year, we will be learning about:
-situations when it is important to be an upstander.
-strategies and tools to be an upstander and a positive role model.
Literacy
Over the next two weeks, we will be finishing our novel study on the text 'Convict Boy.' This unit will conclude with assessments to see the growth in students' reading comprehension, and writing skills. The students have been learning about the structure and language devices of informative texts.
Numeracy
We have been very impressed with the growth across the year level in our 'Facts on Fire' (number fluency).
Over the next fortnight, we will be focusing on:
-Planning for a statistical investigation.
-Using a Likert scale and star rating system.
-Writing survey questions for data collection.
-Collecting large-scale categorical data.
-Creating column graphs with non-unit scales.
-Choosing appropriate data displays and justifying our choices.
-Interpreting data displayed in frequency tables.
-Interpreting column graphs with non-unit scales.
-Communicating and evaluating findings of an investigation.
Creative Connections
This fortnight, students will be finishing their Convict Boy game boards and playing each others' games.
