Year Five Learning Highlights

Religion: How is the Holy Spirit Present in Our World? This term, Year Five students have been exploring the presence of the Holy Spirit in our world. Through engaging discussions and activities, they have learned about the different ways the Holy Spirit guides, comforts, and inspires us in our everyday lives. Students have explored the Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit received during the sacrament of Confirmation.

Maths: In Maths this week, our Year Five students have been mastering the art of multi-digit multiplication. They have been practising various strategies to solve complex multiplication problems, including the traditional algorithm and area models. By working through real-world scenarios and interactive exercises, students are building their confidence and proficiency in handling larger numbers.

English: Our English lessons have been buzzing with excitement as students dive into the world of animals. They have been researching and writing information texts about how animals use behavioural and structural adaptations to survive in their habitats. From the camouflage of Artic Foxes to the migration patterns of hammerhead sharks, students are discovering fascinating facts and honing their skills in organizing and presenting information clearly and effectively.

NAPLAN: Year Five students have also completed the NAPLAN assessments for the past two weeks. They tackled various reading, writing, language conventions, and numeracy tasks. Through their hard work and dedication, they demonstrated their learning and resilience. We are proud of their efforts and their positive attitude toward this important milestone.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work and enthusiasm our Year Five students have shown in their learning this term. Keep up the great work, everyone! ?
