Turquoise Community

Turquoise

In Numeracy Turquoise have been focussing on measurement and geometry. Students have been developing their understanding of area, perimeter and volume. Using this knowledge students are designing and creating their own city made from geometric nets.

Our focus in writing during Term 2 has been debating. After watching a mock debate by the 5/6 teachers students have been learning how to plan arguments and investigating how to persuade their peers. Students are currently working towards undertaking a debate with their peers.

During Inquiry students have been learning about democracy and social justice. Throughout this unit of work we have covered a range of different topics to develop an understanding of the history of laws in Australia and how these have changed over time. We are currently creating a plan of action to execute our personal inquiry goals.
