Classroom Focus - Year 5A

5A is Back!

We are so excited to be back at school, settling into our new classroom and getting into the rhythm of Year 5! 

So far we have loved:

Catching up with our friends.

Borrowing in the senior fiction section.

Tackling problem solving activities like playing chess and the Cup Challenge.

Using our own laptops.

Participating in new learning activities.

We can’t wait to meet our Prep buddies and all of the adventures and learning ahead!

Helping our children to regulate their emotions

What is self-regulation?

Self-regulation is the ability to understand and manage your behaviour and your reactions to feelings and things happening around you.

It includes being able to:

• regulate reactions to strong emotions like frustration, excitement, anger and embarrassment
• calm down after something exciting or upsetting
• focus on a task
• refocus attention on a new task
• control impulses
• behave in ways that help you get along with other people.

The Australian Parenting Website has some more great information about helping our children to develop this skill.

Body Scans are a great way of increasing self awareness and self regulation - this would be a great activity to try at home maybe after school or before bed.

Parent Orbit App

The App, Parent Orbit, which is connected to Parent Lounge, will improve our communication with each other as it offers a quick and easy way to receive notifications, add Student Absences, view and pay School Fees, accept or decline excursions via the Events and Activities, check the school calendar, update details and permissions and much more.

Some of you may already be using the Parent Orbit App for Chanel College and you will simply add Star of the Sea as another school you can access.

The App uses your Parent Lounge log in to access and will be a great way to access Parent Lounge features as you will not have to log in every time.  

To download the App to your mobile device you can click on the link https://parentorbit.page.link/sosg  or visit your APP store.

Most of our Term Dates for the rest of the year are already installed on the App so it really is a good resource for you.
