Emergency Evacuation plan

Hello Students,

here is a picture of what an architects blue prints look like. Your birds eye view of your house DOES NOT need to be this detailed, however it give you the idea of what door, windows, bathrooms and kitchen look like on a plan. Remember, your Emergency evacuation kit should be near the front door so that you can get it on your way out of the house to the assembly point (Letterbox). Remember if you have a two story house you need to draw both stories to show the safe emergency route. 

Your Emergency Evacuation plan is due at the end of the week with Homework. Happy drawing!

Welcome Back to Term 4

13th October 2014

Dear Parents

Welcome back to another exciting term at St Bernardine’s!  I trust that you have had an enjoyable holiday and are now back into the school routine.  I am writing to inform you about this term’s units.

The main focus for Year 5 this term is the Saint Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. Our Religion unit is Christian Beliefs and Teachings. In this unit we learn that as Christians we believe that we should follow in Jesus’s footsteps and do what we can to help others. A practical way of doing this is by running and promoting the Christmas appeal. You will hear more on this appeal later on in the term.

The children will be learning, in History, about the expansion and growth of Australia due to the discovery of gold. They will learn about significant early goldfields and the Eureka Stockade. Students will create, in small groups, a board game about the facts on the Eureka Stockade.

In Geography, we will be looking at fire safety, the devastation of house and bush fire and what precautions we can take against house and bush fire.

We will be focusing on the unit Earth’s Place in Space in Science. We will be looking at our solar system and the names of the planets and their positions relative to the sun. We will also look at how the Sun and Earth work together to create day and night.

In English, we will be looking at poetry and studying and writing different types of poems.

I look forward to your continuing support throughout this term. If you have any questions about any of the units please don’t hesitate to contact me.
