What a fun week with a real focus on Literacy, and in particular books. On top of our usual rigorous book clubs we have additionally been….. Looking for the ‘Wally’ characters around campus, reading to Grade 2 students, swapping our books and even dressing up as characters. Lots of fun that rightfully puts reading at the heart of our curriculum. So much educational research shows us that reading is the key to develop writing, deeper thinking and making more connections with the world around us. That is why in Grade 6 we ask that students read for 30 minutes each night at home.<\/p>\n

Student Led Conferences<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you to all of you who were able to attend Student Led Conferences. I think that maybe the conference looked a little different to previous years with the students really focusing on giving you an experience and window into their world, more than just showing you their books. it was awesome to see Vortex battles, rollercoasters being constructed, swinging pendulums, debate over the math challenges, competitive tension over the spelling game and many many other activities going on around Grade 6.<\/p>\n

Maths<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been comparing analogue and digital clocks, looking at solving time problems through jumping strategies, the 24 hours clock and (at the end of the week) starting to look bat time zones around the world. To be continued….<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Completing our drafts, revising and editing phases of our explanation texts about why a swinging pendulum will not gather additional energy, looking at the law of conservation of energy and dissipation. Most children are now starting to publish and the finished piece of writing will be on Seesaw soon.<\/p>\n
