To those of you recognising Ramadan, I wish you a wonderful Eid Al Fitr next week and look forward to seeing everyone back on the 8th of May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For photos of students hard at work learning and having fun this week please see our Grade 6 Picture folder linked below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/u\/0\/folders\/1eNXODIJPs8FQMMVYxWu_n-rI-Imq6HCW\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2021 2022 Week 32 photos<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Homework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the G6 Exhibition unit, students will have personalised\/ individualised homework where they are required to work on their inquiries daily and to document their learning journey in relation to this. At the same time, students will continue to practise Mathematics basic facts, Reading and Spelling. I am pleased to say that this week we had a mathematics assessment survey and all students have shown growth and progress in this. This must mean they have been practising for their homework.\u00a0 Well done everyone, Please also remember to sign your child\u2019s homework each week. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reading, Writing and Inquiry<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week students have continued to develop their ATL skills. In particular this week the focus has been on self management and research skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For this, students were given guidance in creating and scheduling their own timetable, breaks and areas of study. Again, please talk with them about this. I am sure this will be insightful. They have done well and are developing a more in depth understanding of the intricacies of planning and managing one&#8217;s time in relation to tasks and projects to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our Central Idea for the Exhibition unit:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My passion can be connected to local and global issues and the Action I take may lead to positive change.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For this we will inquire into the following;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students will come up with their own lines of inquiry for this unit. (Please talk with them about this and help them with guiding questions where you can).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Exhibition Journal: Documenting the learning journey (process and product)&#8230;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week students from Grade 7 visited our class to support our students with their exhibition. They did this by sharing their understanding of the exhibition and sharing the benefit of hindsight as they completed theirs last year. This was a great experience and the first of a number of planned transition activities we will share with Grade 7 as we look towards our current grade 6 team moving up from primary into secondary. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the <\/span><\/i><b><i>Grade 6 exhibition<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> unit, students are creating an <\/span><\/i><b><i>electronic journal<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and keeping a daily log of what they have done, what they have discovered as well as their thoughts and feelings in light of this. <\/span><\/i><b><i>Please <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">do look at this and <\/span><\/i><b><i>talk with your children about it. <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is where you will gain insight into everything your child is doing for their exhibition project.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Mathematics<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For mathematics this week students continued to develop their mathematical understandings and their problem solving skills.
