Years 3-6 Literacy

Our Year 3–6 students are diving into two wonderful novels this term! In Years 3/4, students are exploring ‘The One and Only Ivan’ by Katherine Applegate, a moving story about friendship, courage and seeing the world through the eyes of a gorilla. Meanwhile, our Year 5/6 students are reading ‘The Last Bear’ by Hannah Gold, an unforgettable adventure that explores the powerful connection between humans, animals and the natural world.

Both novels provide rich opportunities for students to deepen their comprehension, explore characters and themes, and develop their own writing.

You may like to ask your child a few questions about the text they are studying!

Years 3/4: If Ivan could tell us one thing about his life, what do you think he would want us to understand?

Years 5/6: Why do you think Hannah Gold chose to call her novel The Last Bear? What message might she be trying to share?

Inquiry - Term 4

Years 3 - 6 Our Voice, Our Community

Our Years 3–6 students are well underway with their Civics and Citizenship inquiry, exploring democracy, government and what it means to be an active and responsible member of a community. Students are investigating how decisions are made, the importance of rules and laws, and the ways individuals can have a voice and contribute to positive change. There are some exciting experiences ahead to bring this learning to life! This week, our Year 5/6 students will visit Parliament House to deepen their understanding of democracy in action, while our Year 3/4 students are looking forward to welcoming Mayor Abboud to learn more about leadership and decision-making within our community.

Prep - 2 Step into the Story

Our Prep - 2 students have been letting their imaginations run wild as they dive into the world of drama! From stepping into the shoes of different characters to bringing stories to life, students are having fun exploring the magic of acting and storytelling. There has been plenty of creativity, laughter and imagination as students experiment with different roles and work together to create their own dramatic moments. As the term unfolds, students will have opportunities to build their confidence, embrace the spotlight and share their performances with others!
