Welcome to Grade 5B!

This blog is a glimpse into the life of Grade 5B. Although this is our last term together, we will be regularly updating our blog and sharing insightful, strange, humorous and (most importantly) educational highlights with our friends and families.

The fourth term is often the busiest with exams, award ceremonies and final preparations for Grade 6, but it is also always the most fun! So sit back, relax and enjoy reading all about the adventures of Grade 5B!

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs!


How would you describe the weather today? It was partly cloudy and rather windy. Which symbols would you choose from above to represent these weather conditions?

If there was one thing that you learnt at school today, it should have been a clearer understanding of the way Earth turns on its own axis as well as revolves around the sun. We were lucky to watch a very good video on the Smart Board today...the narrator explained it very well and the images were easy to understand. "Go England" as Tabitha would say! Click on the link below to the video that we watched today, you should watch it again if you have the chance to do so. I'm sorry we couldn't find the one with Bob, but it was still some cool science!


Here is a picture to show you the revolution of the earth around the sun. You can see what part of the earth faces the sun at these four stages in the revolution:

We have also learnt the formulaes for Area and Perimeter, so make sure that you undertand those well.
P = the total distance around the outside edge of a shape
A = the space that a shape takes up

I saw some delicious-looking meatballs coming out of that Cookery Room today! I hope that you girls are going to spoil your families sometime and cook those meatballs at home.

Have a great evening! See you in the morning.
