Reading - Students will continue to practise and apply the comprehension strategies required to make sense of what they are reading. They will then apply these skills to specific reading responses based around character analysis, setting, plot, language and themes for their Literature Circle meetings. Students will also be reading about scientific terminology, theories, states of matter and processes and reactions - all of which will help them make sense of their scientific investigations.

Writing - Students will continue to write persuasive and narrative texts, revising the process of planning, drafting, revising/editing, conferencing and publishing. Our students will also publish their picture story book for their 2024 Foundation buddies, which will then be presented to their buddies at the Buddy Picnic. Students will also write procedural and scientific reports to follow the process of their investigations. This will include describing the aim, hypothesis, materials, method, observations and conclusions.

Speaking and Listening - Our students will consolidate the public speaking skills they developed throughout the year in our Year 5 debating program. Students will also learn how to have substantive conversions in their Book Club meetings, sharing their thoughts and connections about characters, settting, plot, themes and literary devices.

Spelling - Students will continue to learn about morphology, and how words are built through the combination of prefixes, bases and suffixes. They will also continue to learn and apply spelling conventions.

Grammar - Students will predominantly learn how to use homophones accurately and how to correctly punctuate dialogue in narratives.
