The Year 5 and 6 students have jumped straight back into learning in Term 2! They are continuing to hone their literacy skills through our persuasive unit, reading groups and spelling program. In Maths, students are investigating types of angles, working on orders of operations, symmetry, as well as  multiplication and division.

Students have also been avidly discovering our solar system and all the amazing inventions that have helped us in our daily lives – only made possible from space exploration.  Did you know that it’s because of space exploration we have smoke alarms?

They have also become urban planners, thinking about what it takes to build a town.  Soon they will be investigating what actions to take to keep the town safe from natural disasters like floods, cyclones and bushfires.

We are looking forward to a great term, culminating in some great activities like our sports day and slime run!
