We have had a busy start to Term 2 in Grade 5. Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening across our core subjects.

In Science, we are exploring the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Students will learn about how materials change state through heating and cooling and will learn to identify properties of each state. There will be many messy experiments that will help bring these concepts to life!

In Maths, we are focusing on arrays to help with multiplication and division. We’re also identifying prime and composite numbers, learning how to factor numbers, and explore how these concepts connect to problem-solving in real life.

In English, we are diving into information reports. Students are learning the structure of an information report, including an introduction, paragraphs, subheadings, and a conclusion. We are grade also looking at the different features of digital and printed texts.
