Year 5 Newsletter Update
It’s been a busy and exciting couple weeks in Year 5.
We had a special visit from Zavier as part of a Graffiti incursion run by the City of Boroondara Council. He delivered an energetic and engaging performance, helping students learn about the legal, social, and personal consequences of graffiti. The students really enjoyed it and took away some valuable lessons.
In our Connected sessions, we’ve been exploring Indigenous perspectives by learning about the seven Wurundjeri seasons. Working in small groups across all three Year 5 classes, students created colourful and informative posters to show how these seasons differ from the ones we usually know.
Some of our students took part in the second round of cross country and did an amazing job representing our school. A big congratulations to all who participated—and good luck to those heading into the next round.
During Japanese Cultural Day, Year 5 teamed up with their Prep Pals to make bright and cheerful pinwheels. It was a fun and creative way to celebrate Japanese culture while spending time with our buddies.
We also had a sushi-making incursion, where we learnt about the history of sushi and even got to make our own. The best part? Tasting our delicious creations. Some of us were surprised to discover that we now really enjoy sushi!
This week, we’ve been getting ready for our two night camp in Mt Eliza next week. There’s been lots of excitement and questions about the activities we’ll be doing. We can’t wait to head off on our first school camp and enjoy the adventure ahead!
