In English, we have been learning how to write informative texts, with a focus on creating an information report about convict settlement in Australia. Students have researched important historical information and developed their skills in organising facts into clear paragraphs, using topic-specific vocabulary and writing in an informative style. We have also continued to strengthen our reading fluency, spelling and vocabulary through our daily literacy routines and Word Origins program.

In Mathematics, we have been developing our understanding of fractions, including adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators. We have been using a range of strategies and visual representations to help us understand fractions and explain our mathematical thinking. These activities have helped us become more confident and flexible when solving fraction problems.

In HASS, we have been investigating natural disasters that occur across Australia, including droughts, floods, cyclones and bushfires. Students explored the causes and impacts of these natural disasters and investigated ways communities can prepare for, respond to and manage them. To demonstrate their learning, students created interactive flap books containing definitions, diagrams, impacts and management strategies for each natural disaster.

In Health, we have been learning about healthy eating and the importance of making nutritious choices. We have explored the five food groups, the benefits of eating a variety of foods and how healthy choices provide our bodies with the energy and nutrients needed to grow, learn and stay active. Students have also been developing their understanding of how everyday choices can contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.

In Art, we have been exploring how artists use colour, line, shape, pattern and texture to communicate ideas and stories. Students have been developing artwork for our Book Week display, using their creativity and imagination to respond to literature. They have enjoyed experimenting with different artistic techniques and working carefully to create pieces that celebrate their favourite books and characters.
It has been another wonderful term in Room 13. I am incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, creativity and resilience the students have shown throughout the term. They have embraced new learning opportunities, supported one another and continued to grow as learners. We are excited for our upcoming Learning Journey, where we look forward to sharing our learning with our families and celebrating all that we have achieved together.
