Term 1, 2024

The grade 5 teachers have loved meeting their new classes and it has been wonderful to see the new grade 5 students so excited and eager to return to school this year. The grade 5 team this year is made up of Miss Cole (5C), Miss Gist (5G), Miss Howell (5H) and Miss Keane (5K).

The grade 5 teachers have been busy planning lots of interesting lessons and learning opportunities for the students. Our integrated studies theme for this term is ‘We Are One’. Within this unit, students will explore the different reasons people have migrated to Australia, and what makes Australia a ‘lucky country’ for so many. They will also explore the geography of Australia, which will culminate in a group project about one of Australia’s states or territories. To support our learning about Australia, we will be going on an excursion to Melbourne Museum on Friday 22nd March.

Grade 5 students will be assigned homework each week. Their homework will consist of a literacy task (which is set on Seesaw) and a maths task (which is set on Mathletics/My Numeracy). We also expect students in grade 5 to read for at least 20 minutes every night and record this reading in their diary. We ask that parents support us by encouraging their child to complete their homework each week.

During term 1, students must wear a hat when outside in the yard at recess and lunch times. New hats can be purchased at the office if needed.

There are two pupil free curriculum days this term on Thursday 7th March and Friday 8th March. Monday 11th March is also a public holiday.

Term one will end on Thursday March 28th at 2:30pm.

Please speak with your child’s class teacher if you have any questions.

We look forward to a fantastic year!
