Oman Week 2025 was spectacular for grade 5. The highlight of the week was of course the fantastic Muscat adventure. It was such a great learning journey for our students and it was such a milestone step for many as they became risk-takers and spent time away from their families, allowing them to develop their self-management skills as they had to manage their time and belongings to ensure they were prepared and ready for all of the exciting experiences they had. Thank you so much to all of our parents for your support in making this happen. We could not do any of this without you!
We are also very grateful to the members of the Oman National football team who took time out of their busy schedule to come along and do a meet and greet with our students and sign many autographs! We were very lucky to be sharing our floor of the hotel with the team and with many competitors of the Tour of Oman cycling competition which added to the excitement.

Looking Forward:
In UOI we will continue to focus on the concepts and delve into the vocabulary that we will be using within our unit of inquiry. In Maths we will continue looking at different properties of 2D shapes, including regular and irregular polygons. In Literacy, we will look at different types of poems and learn about the different techniques within the poems.
Best wishes, Grade 5 Team!
