Year 5

Assalamu Alaikum,  

In Term 3, the Year 5 students have certainly had a very busy term and the primary in general.  Our focus throughout the term has been to develop, engage and inspire student learning.    

The students were fortunate enough to participate in Book Week, Book Fair, Bachar Houli Football Competition and Quran Competition.    

English

In English, the students have continued to develop their reading skills with a focus on making deeper connections to the various texts they read.  

In writing, the emphasis has been on poetry with the students developing creative, imaginative and thoughtful writing pieces. We are also continuing to build upon their oral language skills and it is clear the students are beginning to develop an understanding of the importance of these skills in their future learning.  

Mathematics

In Mathematics we have continued to focus on Number throughout this Term.   

Science

In Science, we investigated the solar system in collaboration with Technologies where the students had to construct a 3D solar system.  

HASS

In HASS, the students have been learning about the importance of values and processes to Australia’s democracy and describing the roles of different people in Australia’s legal system.  

Please continue to monitor your child’s homework as this forms part of student revision and reinforcement. 

For your child to be successful, set a homework schedule that fits in with each week’s activities.
