What’s happening in Year 5

5CORE – 1 & 4 Science Experiment

Year 5 has been working hard on learning the differences between natural and synthetic fibres in Interdisciplinary Unit and Science. Followed by a research task on wool and fibre, Year 5 had a chance to work with Science teachers to do a burn test and observe how quickly the fibre ignites, the smell the fabric gives off as it burns, and what the burnt remains look like. Students enjoyed their time in the lab and will continue their experiment in the following weeks.

5CORE2 – Working with Sr Sheila

Year 5 students were lucky enough to work with Sr Sheila to create a concertina book with motivational quotes or Scripture that had particular meaning for the students. They thoroughly enjoyed creating these books and reflecting on the message within them. Some of the quotes that the students connected with are below.

Sienna: You can do anything through Christ.

Rafqa:With God all things are possible.

Theresa: Be courageous, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Aiden: When words fail, music speaks.

Claudia: Believe in yourself and you can do anything.
