YEAR 5 PROGRAM SEMESTER TWO
ENGLISH Students are continuing to apply reading strategies to think within, beyond and about a text. They develop their understanding of making inferences and applied this to infer character feelings and how they change using evidence from the text. Students engage in learning activities to analyse a range of genres and their text structures and language features. They articulated their point of view about a text in small groups using evaluative language. Students explored the writing genres of information reports, response to a film or text and narratives. They applied key structure and language features of selected authors. They followed the writing process to plan, draft, edit, revise and publish their chosen writing piece. MATHEMATICS Throughout Semester Two, students continue to develop their number skills and explore the equivalence relationship between fractions and decimals. They develop their ability to add and subtract fractions and decimals confidently. Students use protractors to measure and draw different types of angles. They use a grid reference system to identify and describe locations and routes using landmarks and directional language. Students explore aspects of translations, reflections and rotations of two dimensional shapes. They also consolidate their understanding of volume, capacity and mass. Students are exposed to everyday language associated with chance and data. They interpret a range of graphs and develop methods of data collection to create their own graphs. Students recognise a range of probabilities and outcomes of chance experiments, involving equally likely outcomes. They represent probabilities as fractions and include their decimal equivalence.
