Year 5 Welcome Letter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

A very warm welcome to all of our students and families in Year 5.

 

The year ahead promises to be full of new learning and experiences. Year 5 is a time to develop independence and responsibility as a learner, in exciting and creative ways. We will learn about how the world works around us in ‘Full Power’, blast off into space during ‘Interstellar’, delve into the history and the development of Hong Kong, and celebrate our uniqueness in ‘What’s the big IDEA?’. With a plethora of experiential learning opportunities, trips, and a three-night camp, the children will create memories that will last a lifetime.
