Grade 5/6

Data and Decisions 

In our Integrated Studies this term, students are going to learn about the consequences of financial decisions encourages us to think critically about our options, and allows us to participate in the world of business and economics. 

Students will investigate: 

• The difference between needs and wants.
• Types of resources we have, and how we use them.
• The nature and meaning of work.
• Developing a business plan.

Students have learned about what is an occupation, key terminology when it comes to connections between occupations and impulsivity and when that's not managed well in an occupation.

Thomas and Trinity - Disability Carer. They need to manage their impulsivity because they might get angry or annoyed at the person their working with and hurt their feelings.

Shae and Taiden - Barista. They need to manage their impulsivity so they don't get angry at the customer, which means the customer won't return and the employee might get fired for that. 

Literacy

Fluency 

A Day Off for Sunshine -  Sing to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star 

Students have been working hard with improving their fluency, students are aiming to read with tone and rhythm with their new task. They have a text that they read in the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!

Found

Mentor text

Found is a text that has no words! We are exploring the importance of images in a picture story book. We watch these video books and dissect the imagines to infer what the story is about or what the character is experiencing. We found that the descriptive details in the imagines are important to solving what is happening. 

We have started planning our own story with only pictures!
