Learning in Year 6
Truganina College
Learning Is Rewarding
The Year Six students showed consistent and tireless work to learn and embrace the knowledge of integers. They showed excellence in finishing their work flawlessly. It was a perfect experience to use masking tape as a number line and locate integers on it with peer collaboration. Integers can be used in various situations for example, elevators and temperature, and by learning about it, we absolutely had better understanding when it applies to real life scenarios.
They also published flawless poems into their books. They immersed themselves into deep emotional memories and they were very brave to share them with peers. They also learnt heaps of new descriptive words and tried their best to create imagery and figurative sentences. Year 6 students appreciated each others' deep thoughts by demonstrating respectful listening during presentations. They enjoyed creating beautiful and poetic stanzas for their Haiku and free verse poems.
"The Month of Giving"
Written by Ali 6B
Evils worst nightmares
As the darkness starts to fade
Light comes in the way
Eccentric joy and laughter in the air
As the month of giving comes in affair
Fantastic fasting obediently
As you will be feasibly rewarded
Festival lights bleed beautifully in the sky
You can’t even lie
Rumbling tummies and good spirit all around
Selfless donations and charity make the world a better place
One in a life opportunity, Ramadan is something
You can’t waste
"Run"
Written by Vidhatri 6B
Heat creeping up my throat, hair singed, clothed burned
People might just end up dead
Homes become forest fires. I heard cutthroat scream.
Can’t turn back
The fire in an unrelenting rage
Fiercely licking the trees.
Run run, burned bodies fall
Run run, black snow ash coddles tight
Run run, might not make it out alive
My legs bear heavier, panting, running
Sweat pouring down like heavy rain
Run run, will I make it?
Run run, loud silence screams heavier
Trying to escape a locked door but it holds the key
I see her fall
And I see the fire consume her alive
Merciless.
Run run, I can’t no more
Run run, I face the fiery storm.
