We started the week with some very lively and enjoyable sessions with the Bassistry Arts group. the children loved the high energy sessions learning about rhythms and percussion. Many of our units have come to a close this week and the children have been doing their best to recall all their understandings in their summative assessment tasks.
Transdisciplinary Theme: How we express ourselves
Central Idea:
A person’s behaviour and how they choose to present themselves can project aspects of their identity.
Lines of Inquiry:
- How appearance and behaviour influence our perceptions of others (perspective)
- The influence of cultural and social norms on an individual’s self-concept and self-worth
- The arts as a form of expression (form)
We are going to be tuning into this new unit by looking at the way people perceive others. As a class group we are going to consider what physical appearance and personal photographs may show about a persons identity and how they view themselves.
Next week we will be consider how grid coordinates can be used to describe position and also aid in the transformation of shapes.
The children will explore the different forms of writing people use on social media and start to gather evidence about the language features.
5A: Natalee Evans for Mandarin – for being attentive and trying her best to produce good work.
5P: Hugo Hellen – for his mature and happy attitude as well as being a great student and friend.
5Y: Maisy Morgan – for being a wonderful support in the classroom and always looking out for others.
Due to the weather getting hotter and the humidity on the rise, we have felt the need to speak to the children about wearing deodorant/ antiperspirant. From next week there will be spray deodorant and wet wipes made available to the Year 5s. We would appreciate if you could discuss this with our child. We understand that some people do not like to use sprays etc. If this applies to your family; roll on deodorant, wet wipes or a wet flannels are good alternatives and can be easily stored in cubbies or school bags.
