Senior School

WHAT'S ON

Welcome to a new school year! We've had a very settled return and our students in 5/6 have adjusted well to the expectations that have been set for them in both classrooms!

Lots of exciting things have already happened; the election of House Captains, State School Spectacular auditions, Interschool Sports, SRC nominations and Golf Clinics!

In our learning, we kicked off the year with a lot of pre-testing and have now started getting our teeth into some interesting units of work across all subjects!

IN OUR LEARNING

Here's a little recap of what we've been covering in the classroom:

Reading: Our focus text is 'Holes' - We have explored character development, themes, predictions and language.

Writing: Narratives - We have followed the process, considering all features of the text genre to inform planning ideas, creating hooks, developing and expanding ideas, editing for punctuation, grammar and spelling.

Maths: Recognising number properties such as odd/even, prime/composite and factors. We have also explored the use of column strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Humanities: Our topic for Humanities this term is History. Our focus for this is Australian History and the migration of people to Australia.
