Year 6

Assalamu Alaikum,

In English, the students have been developing imaginative Narrative pieces using Seven Steps.  Students have been learning how tighten tension, create sizzling starts and how to show don’t tell.  

In Mathematics, our attention has been on problem solving, fractions, divisibility, multiplication, prime numbers, composite numbers, square and triangular numbers. The students really enjoyed the hands on engaging activities and group work which has elicited interesting and critical thinking relating to Mathematics.

In PE this term students have been learning about Volleyball. In Health they have learnt about how to identify what bullying is, what bullying is not, and how to become more resilient.

In Science this term students have been learning to understand the effect of environmental stimuli on living things, both in the short term through behaviour and growth. Students have conducted experiments on the growth of plants, and on growing mould on bread.

In Technologies the students have been learning about Coding on code.org. Students have been creating sprites, virtual pets, using problem solving skills and learning how to use texts and prompts in Sprite Lab.

For HASS, students have been learning all about Australia’s government.

We wish you a blessed Ramadan and hope you enjoy your school holidays with your loved ones inshallah.
