Term 4 in Year 5



This term Year 5 are studying Ancient Rome in HSIE. We willexamine the many ways the ancient Romans have influenced our present ideas andinstitutions. The students will have the opportunity to investigate topics ofinterest such as Roman clothing, food, religious customs and government.

In Science and Technology, our class will be involved ininvestigating various fabrics. This topic is entitled Fibres and Fabrics andwill involve the use of scientific techniques to determine the nature ofvarious materials. The students will have a special design task to complementtheir studies.

Last term, we had a very exciting visit to Cadia Mine. Thiswas a fitting conclusion to our unit on Gold and involved dressing-up inprotective clothing ( an exciting event in itself!). Many of our students cameaway with samples, but ever so small.
