News from Year 5B
Year 5 Blue has been busy with lots of interesting and exciting learning.
In Maths, we have been learning about measuring and finding the Volume of a prism using material objects and a formula? Do you know the formula to find the Volume of prism?
Christmas Story Art
In English and Religion, we have been deconstructing and making personal connections to various bible passages. We then created an artwork that represents our interpretation and connection to the passage. Some students have been working with Mrs Jancetic to perfect their artwork ready to enter the Christmas Story Art Competition. Goodluck to those students.
Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal and Book Week
In 5 Blue we loved getting into the spirit of Book Week by dressing up as their favourite book characters. We also enjoyed wearing our pyjamas for the St Vincent DePaul Winter Appeal and raising money for those people sleeping rough in our community.

News from Year 6 Science Fair
Term 3 is a busy term for Year 6! They have been concentrating on organising our Science Fair Day, which was in Week 5 on 15th August, 2023. Year 6 has been highly engaged and excited in preparing interesting and interactive experiments, to share with the students at GSFM.
In their research and investigations, the students have used the process of scientific inquiry learning to identify and pose questions about their experiments. They have planned and investigated an experiment of their choice, using their new knowledge about dependent and independent variables, recognising problems in the experiments and responding by testing and analysing possible solutions.
There were many entertaining experiments, such as erupting volcanoes, oceans in a bottle, flying tea bags and levitating match sticks, just to name a few.
It was a fun day for all involved, whereby the Year 6 students enjoyed showcasing their scientific language and knowledge, and the GSFM students enjoyed watching and learning.
