A MESSAGE FROM MISS BUSHBY AND MRS
KYRIACOU
Welcome to the 5JK newsletter for Term 2!
This term we have been fortunate to have Miss
Marfleet join us. She is a pre-service teacher
from the University of Notre Dame. Miss
Marfleet has been teaching some lessons this
term as well as working with small groups. We
would like to thank Miss Marfleet for all her
assistance this term. It has been greatly
appreciated!
This term 5JK have been learning a great deal.
Here are some of the topics we have been
learning about:
LITERACY: We have been learning about
persuasive techniques used by advertisers. The
students created impressive print
advertisements and even television
commercials.
MATHS: We have been using online games and
activities to assist the students in learning
various mathematical concepts. Ms Batten and
Mrs Macmillan have been teaching the
students various strategies to assist them in
solving mathematical problems.
SCIENCE: We have been learning about various
weather phenomena as well as conducting
experiments to learn more about weather.
* “What I loved learning about is the book
Hiroshima because it was sad and interesting.
I also loved when Mrs Kyriacou taught us
about the cherry blossoms and their colours.”
Chantelle Trinh
* “I liked it when I made the origami. I also
liked learning about the atomic bomb. I didn’t
know how dangerous it was.”
Ricky Lim
* “I liked learning about Japanese Art. I also
liked learning about Japan.”
Teba Alnashi
* “I liked it when we did Art about Japan
because we could use paint, glue and other
equipment as well.”
