Inquiry:
In weeks 4 and 5, the grade 5/6 students have begun their Billycart projects. So far it has been fantastic to see students working together in teams to complete a variety of tasks. Students have created in their booklets: team names, essential agreements and logos. They then acquired their timber and worked as a team to measure and cut it into the appropriate lengths. As teams they have then painted their timber and seats and will soon be drilling and constructing the final parts of their billycarts.
Numeracy:
This week we have begun our new unit of numeracy, and we our now deepening our knowledge of number and place value. In particular, we have been looking at factors, multiples, prime numbers and composite numbers.
Last week we had the Victorian Maths Challenge. It was great to see parents there!!
Reading:
The students have done an incredible job of refining their skill of summarising. Students understand they need to identify the key points and key phrases, and then sequence their work chronologically.
Writing:
Our students have successfully chosen, drafted, revised and edited their Information Reports and are currently publishing. We are absolutely flabbergasted by the excellent word choice, sentence fluency and organisation. Well done years 5/6!!
