Hello families and friends of Year 5, 

We are full steam ahead with our learning tasks in Year 5. The students have been busy preparing a response to a wordless storybook. This has involved planning, drafting and publishing a narrative storyline to co-inside with the images from various storybooks.  

Students were fantastic in their angles tasks earlier in the term, and we are now revisiting decimals and use of number lines and fractions. We are also doing daily revision of operations such as adding fractions, dividing whole numbers and multiplying decimals.  

Thank you to all the students who have put their best foot forward and applied for leadership roles. We are currently in the process of voting and announcing school leaders. Next week we will do the same for our house leaders.  

As we approach the end of term, we will get into different events such as awards, Christmas and farewells. Whilst this is a busy time of the year, it is still important that all students attend school right up until the end. We are constantly reviewing and consolidating during this time, and attendance is crucial. 

For our Starry Starry Night performance, I ask that students wear Christmas themed clothing that is appropriate for school. I have purchased a set of Christmas glasses for each student to wear on the night, and we will be performing Jingle Bell Rock and buddying up with our Preps to read the Nativity poem scene.  

Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! 

Kindest,  

Emily Ridgley
