From the Year 6 Classroom

In Literacy, the students are in the midst of an Author Study unit on Tristan Bancks. The students take inspiration from his craft, tips and tricks and recreate this in their own fictional writing.Y ear 6 are well on their way with term 4 Book clubs, reading from a collection of Tristan’s work. Titles include Scar Town, Two Wolves, The Fall and Detention. We have recently learnt that he is currently working on the sequel to Two Wolves.

In Numeracy, the students have completed a unit on Location and Transformation. They have demonstrated their knowledge and understanding how to locate features on a map and describe the position using a grid reference system. In other news, the students thoroughly enjoyed their excursion to Beechworth where they were in the rich history of the Beechworth Historical and Cultural Precinct.

We hope that all students enjoyed the ‘Boys to the Bush’ Community Engagement Day in Wangarattatoday, where they took part in team budling and problem-solving activities.We have a number of Year 6 students who represented the school at the Regional Athletics last Friday inAlbury, with extremely trying conditions, all of them performed amazingly. We now have Amelie Coll,Summer New, Siena Gallagher and Ruby Phillips off to the State Athletics in a few weeks' time.
