Y 5 / 6 CAMP -TERM 2
This year two camps will be
running due to our size. Both
camps will run in Term 2 Week
3. Camp One from the
03-06/05, Camp Two from the
06-08/05. Look out for
information coming home later
in the term!
Literacy
This term, literacy will be integrated with Inquiry. Children will be exploring genres
such as letter writing and explanations. It is important to us that children love to write,
therefore personal choice writing will also be part of the writing programme. All
genres will focus on the structure, language features, purpose and proposed
audience.
For those who have come from Year 4 in 2014, reading books will only be sent home
with children who are reading up to level 26.
Mathematics
Formal Mathematics instruction will begin week 2. Mathematics will be team taught in
each zone. Fluid grouping will occur within each zone. This means children may
change groups throughout the year, depending on their needs. This term we are
focusing on addition and subtraction. As part of our strand programme, we will be
exploring statistical investigations and looking at the process behind gathering and
sorting data, representing and displaying it, and developing conclusions.
Physical Education
This term we are looking at summer sports. This will be run across the team with the
help of Canterbury Sport who will be running an additional softball programme. We
will be looking at sportsmanship, and developing team and game skills. Fitness is a
big love of ours in Team Quest, and we will be getting the children outside with cooperate games, cross country training and team building activities to compliment our
Top Team Event in Week 4.
The Arts
We are creating silhouette portraiture which will be linked closely to our Inquiry. It will
be a fantastic visual representation of childrens interests, learning styles and
passions. Alongside this, children will become Interior Designers, creating floor plans
for their learning space in their chosen medium; be it pencil and paper, minecraft,
floor plan software or lego models! The choice is theirs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to pop in, or send us an email. We are
looking forward to meeting you all, and to the exciting year ahead.
Kind Regards,
Team Quest

NOTICE BOARD
HOMELEARNING
In the first two weeks students will
be brainstorming and preparing
their Homelearning challenge.
Information will be glued in their
books and come home at the end
of week 1. Each child will have a
presentation date indicating when
their homelearning is due. This
date will vary individually. Please
see the team weebly for dates and
home learning challenges and let us
know if the date does not suit.
Thanks.
MATHLETICS &
SPELLODROME Once again, as
part of the children's homelearning,
we have the two wonderful
programmes, Mathletics and
Spellodrome. It is important that
the children complete a minimum
of 500 points for each every week.
These programmes are
individualised and are monitored
by the teachers.
SUN HATS
Sun hats must be worn in Term 1
for all outside activities and break
times. No hat, no play!
EAT AND TWEET
Please ensure these items are easy
to eat. Please leave chocolates and
lollies for after school. Sandwiches
and fruit are a great source of
energy and easy for the children to
handle.
UNIFORM
Please ensure your child is dressed
in full school uniform. It is
important that we keep
expectations high. If your child is
unable to wear uniform, please
send a note to their homebase
teacher. This term school uniform
consists of white ankle socks and
black shoes, or black sandals. And
of course, the Clearview bucket
hat for sun protection.
