Year Six
Term 4 is well and truely underway and students have been working tirelessly on building and consolidating their learning across all curriculum areas. Coming to the end of their exhibition project, students welcomed the final stages. Putting in hours of work to ensure their entire presentation was ready to go.
Writing
In Writing, students have continued to finalise their biographies on a chosen inventor. Wrapping up the unit with editing, revising and publishing their work. Ensuring their biographies covered their inventors early life, major life events and their impact / lasting legacy on the world. Students worked to ensure their biographies were accurate and with appropriate word choice and sentence structure.
Reading
In Reading, our Year 6 students synthesised various biographies to establish an understanding of how language features shape the meaning and can vary based on the audiences perspective. Students engaged in regular independent reading where they were encouraged to explore a variety of reading responses that looked to establish deeper meaning and understanding of their text.
Mathematics
In Mathematics, our Year 6 students have been continuing to explore the concept of probability. Specifically students engaged in open ended problem solving skills through designing, drafting and finalising the creation of a probability game. They assigned probabilities expressed as decimals, fractions and percentages to the potential outcomes identified. Students used their prior learning of chance and single step experiments to establish clear rules and outcomes.
Exhibition
Over the past 8 weeks, the year 6 students have demonstrated incredible creativity, resilience and dedication to their exhibition projects. These projects took an enormous amount of time and patience to complete. Exhibition community night was the night our year 6s have been working towards and the night was a huge success. Members from all across the community attended the walkthrough and the students were proudly showcasing all their amazing research boards and action pieces. The room was filled with passionate students showcasing all their hard work. Displays had a variety of action pieces including models of the solar system, reaction games, world maps, experiments, walls of cultural dress and much more. We were lucky enough to have multiple council member in attendance as the year 6s showcased their knowledge and understanding of various central ideas and lines of inquiry.
