They attempted to relocate to other classrooms, where they experienced different responses: some groups were refused entry, some were accepted reluctantly, and others were welcomed willingly. We then brought everyone back together, revealed that it had been a simulation, and encouraged students to wonder why we had created this experience. Since then, we have been tuning in to the history of migration and exploring the different reasons people migrate. Check Seesaw to read your child\u2019s reflection on the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We would also love to invite parents or family members to share a personal migration journey with our students. If you are interested, please let us know so we can arrange a suitable time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><b>Maths<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, students have begun representing numbers in different ways, including standard form, word form, expanded form, place-value models, number lines and real-life contexts. We will continue building and applying these skills throughout our number-sense unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><b>Literacy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, we have been focusing on the different components of a strong sentence. Students have been learning more about punctuation, identifying errors and applying punctuation correctly in their writing. Editing and revising will remain an important focus as students develop their writing skills throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check out some pictures from the week here: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1g03tWY__HejIrDcSsTMJ6iriVljHQAi1?usp=drive_link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6A<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1U02y5zCgmfuYrGNqjn0blz1Fm1kYXcta?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6B<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Upcoming next week:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Math:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Representing with numbers lines<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ordering numbers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Decimals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Literacy:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Punctuation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conjunctions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Synonyms<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>UOI:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sketch Note taking skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Migration Stories &#8211; Guests\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Push and Pull factors for migration<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also have a Grade 6 assembly on Thursday September 17th, 2026\u00a0 at 12:20 PM in the Mazoon, look forward to seeing you there!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have a great weekend ahead,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Grade 6 Team<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week started with a BUZZ!
