Year 6 News
In Year 6, the students have been doing an exceptional job of taking agency in their learning. Each student has developed their own learning goals in reading, writing, and mathematics. We have also created a goal around improving learning habits and a personal goal.
In mathematics, we are learning some conceptually important skills that will help with the student’s learning in high school. We have been learning to add fractions, find the area of composite shapes, and understand the connections between the area of triangles and parallelograms.
In English, we have been learning about argument and authority. We have been exploring different sources including those generated by artificial intelligence. The students are now able to identify credible and reliable sources in comparison to those that are not. We hope this skill will help the students navigate a digital world that can be crowded with misinformation and disinformation.
Below is some of our work in Geography, Religious Education and some takes on the student’s year so far.

In Year 6, we get to participate in many sports, these include: the Paul Kelly Cup, Athletics Carnival, Beep Test, Cross Country, and the Swimming Carnival. The Paul Kelly Cup is a competition that the Year 5 and 6 compete in every year. This year we will be defending our 2 year title, trying to make it 3. At this year's Athletics Carnival we’re going to be participating in many events that we are currently practicing and refining in sport time. At the start of the term, we had our annual Cross Country, which saw our Year 6 peer, Evie Peters, go to the selection tryouts in Wollongong. Evie came 2nd at this competition and will now be competing in the MacKillop tryouts in a few weeks time. Go Evie!! We look forward to participating in more sports throughout the year.

Our final year of primary school has been filled with memorable experiences and special privileges that make Year 6 truly unique. We've loved taking on our leadership roles, leading assembly, setting up sports events, and mentoring our younger buddies. The Kitchen Garden and discovering new books have added to the fun, along with helping at the infants AFL gala day. Sitting on the assembly seats, eating on the deck, and enjoying the little perks that come with being in Year 6 have made this year special. As we prepare for high school, we look forward to our graduation and celebrating all we've achieved. Daisy, Jemima and Evie |
