Year Five/Six News 

This fortnight the 5/6 Team have been engaging in a number of activities. Reading is Thinking has been a major focus during our Reader’s Workshop where we have been identifying our own reading goals using the Systems of Strategic Actions (SOSA) wheel. As much of a mouthful this is, it is one to remember as we will be referring to it for this year. In Writing we have been identifying parts of speech, creating more writing seeds and writing in figurative language. Place value has still been our concept in Numeracy, with more of a focus on decimal numbers. We finished up our Integrated Studies unit about the Winter Olympics and are working steadily through the Respectful Relationships course still learning about emotions.
