Grade 6

English

Students are continuing to read about the French Revolution in our Core Knowledge Unit. Every day, they practice their reading fluency, focusing on accuracy and pace.

At a sentence level, the students will be learning how to generate sentences containing interjections. We will continue to develop Single Paragraph Outlines (SPOs) with a topic sentence, supporting details and a concluding statement. This will be used to then write fluent paragraphs with relevant details. 

Mathematics

Students are continuing to progress through the levels of number fluency in our daily 'Facts on Fire.' We encourage students to practice their multiplication and division facts outside of school.

Throughout the next fortnight, Grade 6 students will be learning about fractions. They will be able to:

-Ordering fractions with unrelated denominators.

-Adding fractions with unrelated denominators.

-Subtracting fractions with unrelated denominators.

-Solving worded problems involving fractions with unrelated denominators.

-Adding mixed numerals with unrelated denominators.

-Subtracting mixed numerals with unrelated denominators.    

-Simplifying solutions for addition and subtraction of fractions.

Inquiry

Grade 6 students are continuing to delve into the history of Barwon Heads in the school's 150th year. We will be learning about the bollards of the town and designing our own bollards. These will be displayed in our 'Walk Through Time' exhibition at the end of the term.
