Term 3 Overview Grade 5

Reading

This term, Grade 5 students will be learning about a range of CAFÉ reading strategies…
  • Comprehension
  • Accuracy
  • Fluency
  • Expanding Vocabulary

At home:  Students are expected to read a minimum of 20 minutes per night for at least 5 nights each week and fill in their diary for each night that they read. On three of those nights, students are expected to write a short comment that supports their practice of their individual Café Reading Goal. You can find their goal in their Café Reading Journals. 

Specifically, this term, we will be looking at Summarising, Main Idea and the ‘Big’ picture/Moral of the story. We are seeking to find the author’s intention for what they have written and want us to know. 
Individual Reading Focus on CAFÉ Reading Strategies. 
The diary must be kept in their bag and brought to school each day.

Numeracy

We will be learning about and working with Number and Algebra and    Multiplication and Division. Specifically, we will cover;
  • Number Patterns
  • Multiples and Factors
  • The Four Operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the order of operations
  • Comparing and ordering fractions and decimals
At home: Logon to Essential Assessment and complete the My Numeracy Tasks aiming to achieve a minimum of 70% on tasks to achieve a trophy.

Writing

These are the areas of writing we will be covering in term 3:
  • Informative Reports
  • Procedures
  • Factual Recounts
  • Explanations​
With a specific focus on:
  • Idea Generation
  • Planning
  • Engaging opening statements
  • Editing
  • Punctuation

Spelling

The Sound Waves Program is used throughout the week to connect graphemes and phonemes in order to increase our spelling and reading abilities.

At home: This week students will have new spelling words each week. Students are expected to practice weekly list words by completing one spelling activity a week. This will be a part of their homework.
Students will complete a spelling test every Friday.

Topic Studies

This term our topic is “Earth’s Place in Space”. The topic is an ideal way to link literacy with science in the classroom. We will explore how the patterns in the sky relate to days, months and years including the seasons. Through observations of the sky and building models, they will explore ideas and understandings of the rotation of the Earth and the Moon around the Sun. We will also investigate the elements of our Solar System and Earth’s position within it. 
Already, we have had some amazing conversations and wonderings.
