In Year 5 this week the students have been learning all about Growth Mindset. They have identified if they have a growth or fixed mindset and developed whole class strategies for how to develop their growth mindset. They have incorporated the growth mindset philosophy into their thinking and language quite readily.  

They have been working with 3 digit division in Maths; doing demand writing both with and without an image stimulus; Spelling Mastery; discussing time management and organisation for SEL and reading rotations. They started a new Religion unit about Jesus’ message; and started a Science unit about the Earth’s Place in Space.  

Both of their teachers Yvonne Grant and Emma Dixon are very proud of how easily they have settled into their new routine. The students of Year 5 have been very welcoming, respectful and helpful. We are looking forward to working with these wonderful young people and guiding them in their learning journey this term.
