What’s happening in Year 5

5CORE1

Students have enjoyed participating in games to consolidate their understanding of mathematical concepts. They had fun working together to solve problems and embrace new challenges. We have also been broadening our knowledge about the history of Santa Sabina and exploring our identity as a part of Interdisciplinary studies.  Students created an infographic telling the college’s story as they engaged with the values of their community.

As part of the Interdisciplinary Unit ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’, Year 5 students visited the school museum. Students examined artefacts from the history of Santa Sabina. They were able to identify how the school had changed as well as make connections stating how these artefacts linked to the school’s identity. The students were fascinated by the old uniforms, colour house flags and metal hair brush along with many other primary sources of information.

During our maths lessons, students are engaging in a range of mathematical concepts and to start their lessons, are participating in daily reviews. Students enjoy the quick pace of the review and their ability to respond to questions quickly. This engages the students for their lesson and allows them to reignite their previous knowledge on concepts like whole number, addition and subtraction and place value. Check out the photo of the class showing numbers greater than or smaller than using their arms as the mathematical symbols.

Year 5 Kostakis

Explore our Santa Sabina community

This term, Year 5 Kostakis have been delving into what makes the Santa Sabina community so special. They have been tasked with understanding and illustrating our community’s identity by examining several key aspects. These include what unites us as a community, the various initiatives we participate in, our shared values and beliefs, the diversity within our community, and the strong sense of belonging we all feel. Through this exploration, students are learning about the importance of inclusivity and mutual support, and they are discovering ways we can continue to thrive together. Their work highlights the unique and vibrant nature of our Santa Sabina community.
