Term 3 learning journey so far….
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.
