Hello Families!

We’ve had an out-of-this-world semester filled with creativity, discovery, and hands-on learning! Here’s a little peek into what we’ve been up to in the classroom:

Our new science unit has launched, and the students are loving it! We’ve been learning all about Earth, the Sun, and the planets in our solar system. Ask your child which planet is their favourite — we’ve had some great conversations comparing sizes, temperatures, and distances from the Sun! To bring our learning to life, we’ve started creating our own solar system dioramas! The students are designing and crafting their planets with care, and we can’t wait to see the final results.

To celebrate our solar system learning, we got creative in the kitchen (and a little messy too!) by making and decorating planet cookies. Each student chose a planet to design using colourful icing — a tasty and educational treat!

In English, we’ve dived into the world of poetry! We're exploring rhyme, rhythm, and repetition, and the students have been writing their own rhyming verses. It’s been so lovely hearing their voices come through in their poems — and the giggles that come with silly rhymes!

In Maths, we’ve started working on place value, focusing on 2-digit numbers and how to partition them into tens and ones. Using blocks, drawings, and number games, students are developing a solid understanding of how numbers are made. This will set us up for strong number work moving forward.

Thank you for your continued support. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just want to check in on how your child is progressing.

Let’s keep reaching for the stars! ⭐

Warm regards,

Miss Riane, Miss Naomi, Miss Tracy and the Secondary 5 Class
