Year 6 Teaching Team

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 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.

If you ever have any queries or concerns, feel free to contact us via Compass email.
