Year 6 Report

Inquiry and Literacy

This Term in Inquiry, Grade 6 students will explore immigration to Australia. Grade 6s will research a variety of community groups that have immigrated to our community and develop a deeper understanding about the significant contributions that have followed. Along side their own research, students will be immersed in Literature Circle groups in Reading, where they will read historical narratives based around immigration to a new country. The Literature Circle books and tasks will also allow students to develop their own historical narratives during our Writing topic this term.
