Term 4 News
Welcome back to another
exciting term at St Bernardine’s! I
trust that you have had an enjoyable holiday and are now back into the school
routine.
The
main focus for Year 5 this term is the Saint Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.
Our Religion unit is Christian Beliefs and Teachings and in this unit, we look
at the lives of some early Religious leaders: Mary McKillop, Caroline Chisholm
and Frederic Ozanam who founded The St Vincent de Paul Society. In this unit we
learn that as Christians we believe that we should follow in Jesus’s footsteps
and do what we can to help others. A practical way of doing this is by running
and promoting the Christmas appeal. You will hear more on this appeal later on
in the term.
The
children will be learning, in History, about the expansion and growth of
Australia due to the discovery of gold. They will learn about significant early
goldfields and the Eureka Stockade. Students will create, in small groups, a
board game about the facts on the Eureka Stockade.
In
Geography, we will be looking at fire safety, the devastation of house and bush
fires and what precautions we can take against house and bush fire.
We
will be focusing on the unit Earth’s Place in Space in Science. We will be
looking at our solar system and the names of the planets and their positions
relative to the sun. We will also look at how the Sun and Earth work together
to create day and night.
In
English, we will be looking at a number of different writing genres linked to
different subject areas.
It
has been a great year so far and we look forward to your continuing support
throughout this term. If you have any questions about any of the units please don’t
hesitate to contact me.

Term3 unit information
This
term the children will be working on three main units. In History, we will be learning about the
exploration of inland Australia. Our main focus will be on the journeys of
Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson and Burke and Wills and their contributions to
the opening up of Australia for settlement.
The
Science unit is called “Light Fantastic”. The children will be investigating various
light sources and how light can be absorbed, reflected and refracted.
In
Health the children will look at using effective strategies when interacting
socially with others.
Our
Religion unit for the term is Scripture. The children will be learning about
how people lived in the time of Jesus. In this unit, the children will learn
about the foods, clothing, entertainment, money, climate, education, etc in the
time of Jesus. The children will use this information to present a newspaper in
groups based on the format of the Courier Mail that will be set in the time of
Jesus. This promises to be a very interesting unit.
