Dear Parents and Students,<\/span><\/p>\n

Good afternoon and Happy Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students have had a big week this week with end of year assessments well underway. This is a great time of year as a teacher and for students because this is a time to shine and show what you know. Grade 6 has worked very hard this year and their learning curve has been steep. Preliminary results for the end of year show a strong upward trajectory and students have learnt a lot over the course of the year. I look forward to sharing results with you in the end of year reports which will be coming out very soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Home learning<\/b><\/p>\n

Thank you for your continued support of students completing their home learning because this really does consolidate what they have been learning in school. Cumulatively, if a student completes an hour of homework a night, compared to those who don\u2019t, they have completed (approximately) an additional 200 hours of study per year. The science shows that there is a correlation between engagement and achievement so this is very good practice indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homework for next week is to continue with reading, practicing solving mathematical problems from \u2018real life\u2019 Reading and Spelling. Please also remember to sign your child\u2019s homework each week. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading, Writing and Inquiry<\/b><\/p>\n

This week students continued with their \u2018How we Express ourselves.\u2019 This is a unit where students will investigate the different forms of Art, expression\u00a0 through art, the making, interpretation and appreciation of artifacts. This week students were able to visit the secondary art space. This was in part to allow them to work in the space as part of transition to Grade 7, but also because they were able to use some of the secondary art equipment to create some special \u2018 Spin art\u2019. It was fun learning and students created some stunning art pieces as a result. Please do talk with them about this and p<\/strong><\/span>lease see photos of these art works as part of our class photo folder this week<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mathematics<\/b><\/p>\n

For math this week students have been working on completing end of year assessments for Basic facts, Number Knowledge and problem solving. I look forward to sharing these results with you as part of the Semester 2 reports coming out soon \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Notices\/ Worth Repeating<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a number of assessments coming up as we near the end of the year and collect information to triangulate data on progress throughout the year. Students should be preparing and revising for these, for their homework.<\/span><\/p>\n

We continue to maintain our high standards and our current procedures however and ask that we all remain vigilant in this respect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
