Year 6 Literature Sleuths Debate

Last week, I was honoured to adjudicate the Year 6 debate, which the Year 6 Literature Sleuths group have been preparing for with Mr Okita. The debate topic was “World War II had a greater impact on society than the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The standard of debating was exceptional, and it was a privilege to be part of such an impressive event. The students demonstrated outstanding knowledge, sophisticated arguments and a strong understanding of the mechanics of debating. Their persuasive techniques were highly effective, and their  commitment to the side they had been assigned was notable.

Every student should be incredibly proud of their efforts. They demonstrated confidence, critical thinking, respectful engagement and an impressive ability to articulate and defend their viewpoints. The quality of the debate was a testament to the students’ dedication and the work they have undertaken with Mr Okita.

Our Year 6 Literature Sleuths are a wonderful group of students, and they have given us every reason to be incredibly proud of their achievements!

Writing assessment 

Over the last two weeks we have been conducing our Term 4 Whole School Writing Assessment task.  Each child in the school is given the same topic to write about. 

In Term 4 this is a narrative. Students are given a prompt to then use their imagination to create thier own piece of writing. By having the same topic teachers across different year levels are provided with the opportunity to have discussions and conversations about where pieces of writing sit within the writing curriculum continuum.  

See the photo below for the breadth of growth from our Prep to Year 6 students!
