Welcome back for Term 3

Welcome back students and parents of Room 5.  I hope you've all enjoyed your holidays and are ready for the term ahead.  We have a lot of really exciting learning to do in Room 5 in Term 3.

We will be investigating the Olympic Games and looking at how things have changed from the past to the modern Olympics.

We will be learning about fractions and shapes (geometry) in maths.

We will be writing persuasive speeches and presenting these in week 4.  This means choosing a topic that you feel strongly about and writing a speech that will hopefully make other people agree with your opinion. For example, you might think that you should be allowed to stay up later, or that children should be paid to go to school.  Once you've written your speech you will need to stand in front of an audience and read your speech to them.  This will be a big challenge and some of us might find it a little scary, but I know Room 5 are up to the challenge!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Mr Blake
