Last week in Maths, we started learning about angles. To begin, we got into groups and brainstormed everything we knew about angles and published these key words and ideas onto a 'Today's Meet' feed that Miss Power created. It was interesting to see that many of us knew some similar concepts relating to angles. Here is a screen capture of a section of our Today's Meet feed... (If you click on the image, it will direct you to the full feed) It was great to scroll through our Today's Meet feed, but it didn't give us a very clear idea of what our understandings of angles were. So we used Wordle to create this visual word cloud, which gives you a much better idea! The words that are the biggest were the most common words that we brainstormed in Today's Meet. The smaller words are the ones that popped up once or twice. You will notice that 'Daniel's Hair' made an appearance as his hair is always VERY angular and sculpted to perfection! What else do you know about angles? As you learn new skills and understandings of angles, feel free to leave a comment below.

Last week was Book Week and we had a great day dressing up as our favourite book characters on Thursday! There were several Cats in Hats and it wasn't difficult to find where Wally was either. On Wednesday last week, Mr Dwyer told his grade that they would NOT be able to recognise him in his costume... We were all eagerly anticipating who he would come dressed as. See if you can spot him in this clip of images from our Book Week Parade and dress up festivities last week... Earlier this term, 5M were learning about the different types of prayer - prayers of petition (when you ask God for something), prayers of sorrow (when you say sorry to God for something), and prayers of praise (when you praise God for the blessings he has bestowed upon us). Every morning in 5M we start the day with meditation and we take the time to offer prayers to God. In the clip below you can see some of our prayers that we offer up to God. Last term all the grade 5 students were learning about Australian History and how our stories are a part of our nation's history. Below is a brief movie which highlights some of the presentations that were on display at the expo. We think you'll agree that ALL the grade 5 students did a sensational job! It was great to share our learning with each other and give each other feedback on the presentations. Which presentations were most memorable for you? What's something new that you learnt from visiting the expo? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a brief essay (think 100 words, no more) convincing me as to why I should employ you as our class Sporty Spice. Please leave your comment below. This mission will self-destruct in seven days, so please post your comment by Thursday 22nd August. Good luck and God speed.
NB Your comments will NOT appear until Thursday 22nd so as to promote individuality, your own creativity and to avoid copycats. This week you have been set a challenge. Should you wish to accept it, you must persuade me to employ you as our new tub monitor. Please leave a persuasive comment below, explaining WHY I should choose you. Your challenge will terminate in 7 days (next Thu 22nd). Good Luck everyone. Muahahahahahaha.
