Connect: Year 6

Graduation!

All of the students have been rehearsing in the lead up to next Thursday 14th December’s Year 6 Graduation to make sure that it is a truly memorable experience.  Good news for all of the parents is that “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is the Graduation Song.  Click in the clip below so you can learn the words and sing along with gusto!

Literacy 

There is a chance to tie up a few loose ends and to write our final narrative for the year.  We are still focusing on building up our General Knowledge as it helps so much to make connections when we are reading.  Just today I was reading The Boy and the Spy with a small group of the Year 6’s and Mount Etna was mentioned in the text.  One of the boy’s quickly piped up with “Is that the mountain that’s been erupting?”  We stopped and watched a minute of YouTube vision of Mount Etna erupting two days prior.

Keep questioning and passing on your knowledge to your kids!  Every bit helps them build understanding and knowledge of the world around them!

 

Maths

 

In mathematics, students have been learning about tessellation. They learnt about the history of tessellation and looked at artists such as Escher. They then spent time carefully making a tesselating tile in order to make their own design. Students quickly learnt how much care they had to take to ensure their tile tesselated accurately.

 

Wellbeing!  Things to consider doing over the holidays!

If an hour or so in the car or on the train either way isn’t really what you want to do, Frankston and surrounding areas have plenty of options.
