Weeks 3 and 4

The past two weeks have flown by in 5 Maroon with Mothers Day activities, an inservice day and NAPLAN.

5 Maroon took NAPLAN in their stride and approached the examinations in a calm manner. Miss Mead was very impressed by their confidence and resilience.

The Writing task for NAPLAN asked students to present their opinion/s on the topic 'people should know how to cook'. Judging from our discussion after the exam there may be some budding cooks in 5M.

There has been lots of work on our new units. Rainforests for HSIE, Australian Artists (e.g. Sidney Nolan and Julian Ashton) in Creative and Performing Arts, Descriptive Texts in English. We finished our Rapunzel unit in CAPA and are on our way to completing our Easter unit in Religion.
Subtraction has been our focus in Maths this week.
