S5 Newsletter – Week 10, Term 1 2025

The second half of the term has really given the students the opportunity to dive deep into their learning and establish solid understandings of new topics and skills. The Science kits have been a crowd favourite as the students work together in a team to build the investigation and test out theories by making changes to the materials. In our daily spelling and writing, the students have come along in leaps and bounds which is exciting. See attached for some great photos of Declan’s drums, our fan Science kit, playing handball at break time, building 3D shapes using modelling clay and matchsticks, doing some creative writing on the laptops and playing a spelling game with the fly swats.

Thank you for the participation in our Family Engagement Day last Thursday. The food was beautiful and the games sure were entertaining! ?

The move to our new temporary classroom went smoothly and we are already settled in and enjoying the new space whilst our old classroom is being renovated. The students adapted very well to the change and have been engaging in discussions about comparing the two classrooms.

Naomi is our Teacher Aide on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Bec is our Teacher Aide on Tuesday (specialist day) and Wednesday.

We have lots of exciting things to look forward to in the final week of Term 1 including Cross Country on Thursday and a movie and popcorn for PBL Rewards Day on Friday.

Have a brilliant Easter holiday break and we will see you soon, ready for another term!

From, S5 – Charlie, Declan, Ryan, Rosie, Tyson, Mason, Naomi, Bec and Monique
