Year 5 Celebration of Learning – Student Reflections

Sadie Lucas (Year 5)

‘This week, Year 5 had their Celebration of Learning. The ukulele group played The Bug Song and then our parents came into the Year 5 studios to look at our work. We went on a leadership walk and talked about what we thought leadership meant to us. We showed our parents our group novels and talked about the important parts of them, as well as drawing a picture of an important part of our book. We showed them our Personal Development and Health (PDH) books and our work on sun safety, and our facts about skin cancer. We also showed our parents sketches of the sustainable sculptures we made in art. Finally, we showed them our Collaborative Learning Project (CLP) and Italian presentations. I really enjoyed Celebration of Learning and hope our family members did too.’ 

Fedra Nikolakopoulos (Year 5)

‘This week it was the Year 5 Celebration of Learning, Mariette Karam (Year 5) and Abira Sanan (Year 5), gave an amazing speech. The Year 5 ukuleles and ukestra played The Bug Song, and the Year 5 girls sang along. 5B started their leadership walk in Year 5 Central and the rest of the classes moved on with their activities. Showing our reading book, art, sculpture, CLP presentation, Italian presentation and doing a reflection sheet. Although not everyone’s parents could come, we all had a great morning.’ 

Zara Nicholias (Year 5)

‘I thought that the Celebration of Learning was fun, and our parents learnt a lot about leadership and what it means to be a leader. I also thought that when we presented our subjects to them, they were surprised with how well we are going.’ 

Sophia Correia (Year 5) and Stella Scott (Year 5)

‘We really enjoyed our Celebration of Learning. We both had heaps of fun exploring the studios with our family members. Most of all, we loved sharing all our learning, our hard work, and our achievements. We discussed leadership, and both agreed that leadership is setting a good example to everyone.’

Daphne L’Estrange (Year 5)

‘It was so fun to share our Term 1 learning and progress with our parents. My favourite parts were the leadership walk and doing activities with our parents because we saw photos of us from Leadership Day displayed on the leadership wall. It was also very fun doing activities with our parents. For one activity, we got to tell our parents all about our books. My mum loved exploring the new Year 5 studios and seeing all my work. Overall, Year 5 had a great time.’

Olivia Wang (Year 5)

‘Year 5 had lots of fun, sharing what they have learnt through this term, at our Celebration of Learning. All the parents were very interested to see what their daughters had learned in CLP, PDHPE, Art and Reading. Well done to the girls for showing amazing manners while taking their parents around, Year 5 Central and showing them how much fun, they had on Leadership Day!’ 

Freda Xie (Year 5)

‘I thought that Celebration of Learning was great because we got to share our learning and the Leadership Day with our parents. I really enjoyed performing the ukulele in front of our parents. I also thought talking about our novel was great because, we got to discuss what we liked about the book and the important parts of the story. This is why I thought Celebration of Learning was a really great experience.’
