Welcome to 5CJ!

Welcome back to school after a lovely long weekend! I hope you all made the most of the lovely weather and spent lots of time outside.
Just to let you know Year 5 good work assembly is this Thursday 9th May 2013 at 10 am.
G'day 5CJ! Welcome back and I hope you all had a lovely Easter break.

As you may have guessed, this term our topic is all about Australia - the country 'down under'. We will be reading lots of different texts from Australia, including, traditional tales and tourist informational booklets, as well as, creating our own. Any books, pictures or artifacts that you have at home, about Australia, we would love to see so please bring them in.
Just a little reminder to you all about homework. Spellings go out on a Monday and tested on a Thursday with your times table test. Reading must be done EVERY night and signed into your diary BY A PARENT and Miss Jaques and Mrs Keogh will be checking these. Anybody not reading knows the deal! There will also be homework given out on a Friday and it will be due in the following Thursday - no excuses!

Welcome to 5CJ, I hope you enjoy our class page which is full of exciting class news, work and lots of pictures of the great things we have done together.
Do you have any ideas for this page? Please let me know! 

During this term our topic is victorians. We will be covering all aspects of the victorian era including some very exciting trips. If you have any books, information or exciting pictures and artifacts to show us related to the victorians please bring them in! 

We have got a special display board in our classroom all about us. If you have any special pictures please bring them in for me to photocopy and pop up on our display!

We will be having homework, spellings and timetables to do every week. Homework will be handed in on a Monday, spellings will also be tested on a Monday and timestables will be tested on a Friday during numeracy. Please remember it is extremely important that homework is completed independently, with a little bit of help from an adult.  

If you are completing a research project please remember that we do expect you to use the information to help you to create your own presentation (please do not copy and paste).

Thank you for visiting our class page!
