General Information & Reminders

Year 6 Teaching Team

• 6A - Anne Hostein
• 6B - Max Attwood
• 6C - Sharon Dowling (M, T, W) & Alana Graham (Th, Fr)

iPads

• We ask that only school apps be visible on the home screen of a student's iPad. Other home/ game-related apps should be in a folder on another screen. 
• It's very tempting, but please do not message your child during school time. Students are not permitted to message during a school day, consistent with the Department of Education's statewide policy. If you want to pass on a message to your child, this should be done through the main office.

Homework

• Homework will be posted from week to week and will be handed in via Google Classroom. There will be some exceptions to this during the year.
• Currently, the homework is to establish regular reading of the text, Malamander. The students will be allocated chapters of reading each week and will complete a response to these chapters during, or immediately after, reading.
• There will be revision homework for maths and possibly some research homework for inquiry.
• In weeks 6 and 8, there will be public speaking homework.
• It is highly recommended that students set up a homework schedule so that homework tasks are not left to the last few nights. This is an important organisational skill necessary for a successful transition to secondary school.
• Please ask your child to explain to you what the homework tasks are and how they are planning to complete them. It's always a great opportunity to give feedback by reading your child's homework responses before they hand them in to Google Classroom. 
• We expect students to check and edit their work before submitting tasks.
