Year 5 Digital Resources List – Apps and Novels
Every Year 5 student is required to load ALL the iPad resources listed below.
Many of these apps are retained from Year 4 and some can be retained for Year 6 and beyond.
Most apps are free, but it is important to install the apps with a cost at the start of the year.
Please do not wait until the app is needed in class, because then it will be too late.
