Level 5 & 6 Wonga Weekly

🌱LITERACY 

In Literacy this week, we will continue to use texts focused on Aboriginal culture as the basis for language conventions study and book analysis. We will be investigating sentence structure and experimenting with new, 'stronger' words to elevate our writing.

What you can do at home

Help your child to set aside time to read - preferably every night. This will help them build important learning habits. Your child now has access to Reading Eggspress, to help with adding variety to their range of text choices.

🌱 NUMERACY

In Numeracy this week, we will be continuing to consolidate our understanding of multiplicative thinking and the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. Additionally, Grade 6's will continue creating connections between division and fractions in real life contexts.

What you can do at home

Students have access to set multiplication and division questions on Mathletics. Please encourage them to achieve 1000 points each week.

🌱HOMEWORK

- Mathletics - minimum 100 points from the work that has been set
