Fabulous 5/6 

Grade 5/6

Term 3 Week 2 2023 - Friday 20th of July 2023

Message from the Teacher:

We are proud of the positive start the kids have made this term. They have all brought a positive mindset to their work and seem to be enjoying what they are doing. This is going to be a very busy term, with camp, filming, a basketball tournament, and House Athletics. We also have a whole bunch of learning to do, with a focus on multiplication and division in Maths, Book Club resuming in reading and studying poetry techniques and procedural writing. We are also exploring Natural Disasters and the make up of the Earth in inquiry, which will culminate in an expo at the end of term. Busy times ahead!

Homework is also resuming, and we are appreciative of all the help we are getting from our parent group. We ask that you check in with your child each week to support them and ensure they are completing their tasks.

We will try our best to reply within 48 hours of receiving any messages from our community.

What have we been up to?

My name is Patrick, and I am a leader in sport, and I am Hugo, and I am a leader in Tesla.  

This term, in Writing, we started poetry. So far, we have done rhyming poems and Haiku poems. In Reading, we have been reading different non-fiction texts on various topics. We read about how the dinosaurs went extinct, learnt about amber, why we should have Maths and Science, and the Nobel Prize. In Inquiry, we have been learning about tectonic plates. We also looked at volcanoes. Every Monday, we have been enjoying our library sessions. 

We are looking forward to camp. We cannot wait to see our friends every day and sleep overnight with them.
