Grade 5T – The Fabulous Fives @ Menzies Creek P.S.

Grade 5 students have certainly made a wonderful start to the term. They have continued to be so enthusiastic about our J-Rock performance and rehearsals are progressing very well.

 We have begun the term with a focus on Resilience and the need to ‘bounce back’ when life can be a bit of a challenge! We have had some wonderful discussions and I am so proud of all students. They have shared some  great ideas, offering some well thought out advice to enable all of us to ‘bounce back’. Many of their thoughts are on display in the corridor or near the office and I am sure you will be impressed wih their ideas. The ability to be resilient is such an important life skill and grade 5 are certainly showing an increased awareness of this skill.

Our visual arts focus this term will include a study of Chinese art forms, particularly shadow puppets. This focus will also link in with our investigation of China during the Olympic Games. There are a number of great websites that demonstrate the intricate detail involved in the creation of these puppets.

 We have been looking at various images and using paper and card to create different people, creatures and even dragons.

Welcome to Grade 5T’s class blog at Menzies Creek Primary School. We are new to this and we hope you enjoy viewing our latest learning adventures. We also hope that this blog provides a place for communication between  students , parents,  family, our community and teachers. We encourage parent involvement and feedback that will support our learning. This space will be used to post information about what we are learning in 5T and about our progress. We will be able to publish some of our work on the blog and get feedback from our peers and family! We hope that we will gradually develop our own blogs which are linked to the class blog. Check out the ‘pages’ section where you will find references and links to items of interest for parents and students. We look forward to your comments and feedback.
