Bethany Community

Dear Families,

This week, our students had the wonderful opportunity to lead our community Mass. They demonstrated reverence and respect throughout the celebration, participating thoughtfully and confidently in their roles. We are very proud of the way they represented our school community. Thank you to all the families who attended and joined us in this special celebration of faith

Learning in Year 5:

Religious Education:

This week in Religious Education, students are learning that following Jesus involves commitment, thoughtful choices and action. They are exploring how their everyday choices can show love, kindness and care for others.

English:

Next week in English, students will explore the features of information texts. They will create a single paragraph outline to organise their ideas, then use it to write an informative paragraph with a clear topic sentence, supporting details and a concluding sentence.

Mathematics:

Next week in Mathematics, students will learn to identify and apply percentages in different contexts. They will explore everyday examples, such as discounts and survey results, and practise using percentages to solve problems.

Integrated Curriculum:

Next week in Integrated Studies, students will explore how musicians use samples, loops and technology to create contemporary music. They will learn how artists layer and transform sounds to create different musical effects. Students will use digital tools or recorded sounds to create a short musical composition and reflect on how their musical choices influence the mood and meaning of their music.

Social & Emotional Learning:

Next week in Social and Emotional Learning, students will explore what power means in friendships and how it can be used positively or negatively. They will learn to recognise unfair uses of power, explain how these can hurt others, and practise respectful ways to make decisions and include everyone.

Auslan:

Next week in Auslan, students will explore signs related to thinking, such as remember, know and wonder. They will learn how these signs are produced around the head and practise using them to communicate their thoughts. Students will participate in signed games to demonstrate their understanding, express confusion and build confidence in communicating through Auslan.

Important Classroom Reminders:

•  Toys

  We kindly ask that students do not bring fidget toys to school unless their use is a planned adjustment in consultation with Allied Health Professionals. Students who bring fidget toys without an approved adjustment will be asked to place them in their school bag for the remainder of the day to take home. We appreciate your support in encouraging your child to leave fidget toys at home.

   

• Please ensure that you are labelling all your child's belongings.
