What a busy few weeks we have had in Year 5. We finished last week with the colour run which was a huge success, students are still talking about all of their favourite obstacles in particular the mud and jelly. Last week, Year 5 was also lucky enough to have an NRL session with some members of the Cowboys. We did some exercises, learnt some new skills and played a game of footy with some amazing footballers. 

In class, we have been continuing to explore narrative poetry as part of our English unit. Students have been reading and analysing poetry in preparation for writing their own narrative poem in the coming weeks. In Science, we are continuing our learning about Earth and its place in space. Each student has assumed the role of a scientist and is preparing a powerpoint to present to the class about our solar system. Much research is being done, data is being tabulated and presentations are looking really professional. All students have been working really hard on these presentations and enjoying the process. In Religion, we have been learning about the life of Mary Mckillop, and all of the ways in which she helped those less fortunate. Through this learning we have reflected on how we can also help others around us. Year 5 is continuing to kick goals, both on the field and in the classroom!
