Learning:

In Term 2, the Grade 5 students are focusing on the following:

• Reading – Students will read a range of texts to revise and strengthen their comprehension skills, with a focus on making connections, summarising and answering questions. Students will also build their vocabulary by learning how to spell and use more complex words.
• Writing – Students will further develop their persuasive writing skills, focusing on extending sentences and structuring paragraphs.
• Mathematics – Students will build on their numeration and multiplication and division knowledge. This will be complemented by learning about area and perimeter.
• Inquiry – Our Inquiry topics this term are Civics and Citizenship, and Economics and Business.
