Year 5
Welcome to the Year 5 Syndicate Page.
Warm greetings to families and students of Y5, 2024.
Room 17 have made some fabulous poems about our trip to Tahuna Torea Reserve!
Water care
Our inquiry topic for Term One was 'The Water Cycle'.
We were lucky enough to have an expert from Water Care come in and teach us about water use, waste water, the treatment process of drinking water, water filtration and fresh water Invertebrates.
We also did some experiments and had a trip to the creek to test water.
Here are some pictures of our learning!
