What We're Learning This Term in Grade 5/6!

This term, students in Grade 5/6 are diving into some exciting new learning areas!

In Mathematics, we’re focusing on division. Students will explore different strategies such as using arrays, number lines, repeated subtraction, and fact families. We’re working on solving real-world problems and building confidence in choosing the best method for each task.

In English, our focus is persuasive writing. Students are learning how to express strong opinions, back them up with clear reasons, and persuade others through well-structured arguments. 

In Science, we’ve started a unit on Biological Sciences. We’re exploring how living things grow, adapt, and survive in their environments. Students will learn about life cycles, animal features, and how changes to habitats — natural or human-made — can affect different species.

It’s shaping up to be a fantastic and engaging term full of hands-on activities, rich discussions, and creative thinking!
