Our Year 5 students have been diving into the world of poetry through a special Poetry Incursion. They explored a range of poem types and discovered how different structures and styles can be used to express ideas. Each class took part in their own workshop where students brainstormed topics, created mind maps, wrote rants, and then pulled all their ideas together to perform their very own Poetry Slam. The creativity and confidence on display were a real highlight.
As part of Book Week, we were thrilled to welcome Gabrielle Wang, award-winning author and current Australian Children’s Laureate. Gabrielle inspired students by sharing how she finds ideas for her stories and captivated everyone with her creative process. She also guided students step by step in illustrating a dragon, leaving them amazed by what they could achieve.
In Connected, Year 5s have been investigating important global issues. They have begun planning and designing their own Call to Action Projects, aimed at inspiring others to take small but powerful steps towards making the world a better place. The thoughtful discussions and collaborative teamwork so far have been impressive, and we are excited to see their final presentations at the end of the term.
