    Week 13

    December 8, 2017/in Year 5 /by Margaret Joyce

    In year 5 this week, we have been busily preparing for our Advent service this evening. They have learnt the words to the songs really well and sung beautifully in our rehearsal today. We really enjoyed our visit from Bishop John Wilson on Wednesday. We welcomed him to our classroom and told him about our […]

    Week 12

    December 1, 2017/in Year 5 /by Margaret Joyce

    In maths this week, we have been building on our factor and multiple knowledge to mentally multiply and divide. We have used a range of strategies to do this, such as regrouping, doubling, halving and using known facts.  The children were surprised to see how easily and efficiently they could calculate using large numbers and […]

    November 24, 2017/in Year 5 /by Margaret Joyce

    This week in science, we have been learning about taking repeated measurements to improve reliability. We created autogyros with different blade surface areas, and timed how long they took to fall. In this lesson, we required our maths skills to calculate the surface areas and find the averages of our results. We have now concluded […]

    All different. All Equal   This week in Year 5, we have taken part in anti bullying week. On Monday, we began by celebrating our differences. The children created mini books that their classmates filled with positive messages. Watching the children read these was a real joy and I wish I could have captured all […]

    November 10, 2017/in Year 5 /by Margaret Joyce

    Year 5 have been getting green fingered this week by planting our bulbs in the class garden. I look forward to seeing the results in the spring. As it is the month of Holy Souls, we have also been remembering those who have passed away. Many children have made bookmarks, or written the names of […]

    Welcome back. I hope that you enjoyed your time as a family over the break. It has been fantastic to hear about all the exciting things the children got up to. This week in literacy, we began a poetry unit about a city at night. We have been looking at powerful vocabulary and in particular […]

    One World Week

    October 20, 2017/in Year 5 /by Margaret Joyce

    G’day! Year 5 had a bonza week exploring all things Australian. We started the week with our very own bush tucker trial, where vegemite was on the menu. Take a look at Year 5’s faces and see if you can guess how they felt about the popular Aussie spread! We then followed that with a […]

    October 13, 2017/in Year 5 /by Margaret Joyce

    This week, we have been writing biographies in English about author Anthony Horowitz. We have researched his life and found out what inspired him to write. Many of the children have taken books from our ‘Featured Author’ area to read his work. In maths, we have been learning about negative numbers and using our knowledge […]

    What a busy week! On Tuesday, Year 5 had a fantastic time at the Science Museum. The children enjoyed looking at the space gallery and loved the 3D IMAX experience. It allowed us to explore space and imagine life on the International Space Station. Back at school, we reflected on how beautiful our planet is […]
