From the Classroom

6E Newsletter

In English, students have been studying The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, exploring themes of relationships, choices and adaptation through characters and events in the novel. They have been analysing how authors use language features, literary devices and narrative structure to engage readers and communicate ideas. Students have also been comparing written texts with visual texts, including the short film Piper and Wall-e, and applying their understanding to plan and create their own imaginative texts using storyboarding and narrative techniques.

In HASS, students have been investigating business, consumer choices and financial decision making through the unit What is the Cost? They have explored how everyday choices affect people and the environment, as well as how resources are allocated and how decision making can involve trade-offs and competing perspectives.
