Year 6

The school Dance has been the highlight this term so far. Our class really brought it together on the night with everyone stepping up to display another set of memorable Evolution of Dance moves!

Our exploration of Judaism has generated many deep and interesting conversations as we explore the rituals and traditions of this Religion. We are looking at symbols, Holy Days and tracking back to many stories from the Old Testament to make meaning of it all and connect the pieces to Christianity.

In Maths, the student’s confidence in converting the 3 elements of Fractions, decimals and percentages in real life situations has really consolidated. We are now moving on to Statistics, Data and Probability and how these 3 elements can be represented through graphs, surveys, timetables and other everyday occurrences. Good preparation for Year 7.

Learning to Persuade seems easy, but when you need to add in evidence, several devices and create your own article…there is a lot to consider. I am so proud of how hard the class has been working on this.  As a class we wrote about whether “Books or Movies were Better” and this week students chose their own topic. Some topics were “Is it important for children to play sport?”  “Should children be taught to save money?” and “Are Robots Important in our lives?”  Their use of modality words and connection to their own experiences has been a focus when writing persuasively.

In our Spanish lesson we discovered this amazing Underworld Museum in Cancun, Mexico.  I have attached the link and it is worthwhile looking at with your child. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWiI7AkDX-o

The Olympics have of course been central to our morning chats and are so inspiring!  It is linking so well with our Geography unit about Exploring our World and connections to Australia. Go the Aussies!
