GRADE FIVE & SIX 

GRADE FIVE & SIX:

​

As we are now learning from home, we are going to be sending out your child’s work each week. Some of the work will need a computer or a tablet device, and other work will need your child to read, write and draw, just like when we are at school. Should you require a hard copy of the tasks, they are available for collection at school.

Everything your child needs will be in their weekly timetable and the teachers will be available to chat with your children about their work via Google Classrooms during school hours. We will also be using a program called WebEx to schedule video chats with students throughout the week.

Please check your email and Compass regularly for any updates and information. This is new for all of us and we know that together we can support your child with their learning at this difficult time. Please don’t expect your child to sit still and study for 6 hours each day, we don’t do that at school either! Children need to play, get exercise and have some down time during their day. 

Time allocations for each learning area per day are as follows:

​

Literacy (including reading, writing and speaking and listening) 60-90 minutes

Mathematics 30-45 minutes

Physical Activities 30 minutes

Additional Activities: 60 minutes a day

Inquiry  

The Arts

STEM

PE

Health

Cooking ideas from the SAKG program

Language (where applicable)

We will provide a suggested timetable for each day for you to use as you see fit.  Please ensure that your child completes the day’s work before they move on to work for the next day, as the lessons will be in sequential order.  Also please don’t try and complete it all in one day, it is written to be spread out across the week so it does not overwhelm your child.
