Year 5

This term it has been all go and our very busy class have worked hard to learn many new skills and strategies.

In PE we have been learning all the rules and skills for volleyball. I have been very impressed by the effort the students have put in and how well they support their teammates. We are very much looking forward to AFL next term.

Maths

This class really love math’s and we have covered many topics in number but to further increase students speed and accuracy, each Friday we have a times tables challenge. Students have 5 minutes to complete 12 timetables wheels. So far not only are many now under the 5-minute mark, we also have a student who can complete then all in 3minutes and 20 seconds!!

Harmony Day

This is always a favorite at our school and despite restrictions our students celebrated this with as much excitement and enthusiasm as any other year. Students wore traditional clothing to school and shared stories of their own background and including different foods, traditions, and celebrations. As a class we made our of piece of art showing who we all are and where many have come from. We learnt a lot about each other and the diversity of our class and school was certainly celebrated.

English

Through the Seven Steps Writing Program, we are writing stories for the Mayoral Make A Book competition. We should finish these very soon and we definitely have some talented authors in our class.

Ramadan Decorations

This year we wanted to do something with the many windows around our classroom so the students came up with some wonderful designs by using stencils. We were also after a stained-glass effect so through trial and error the students came up with their own glass paint. The time and effort that was put in was impressive and we still have more to go over the last few days. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

This is just and snapshot of some of the things we have done this term. I wish you all a Happy and Safe holiday and look forward to working with you all next term.

Have a Safe and Happy holidays.
