Grade 6
|
Throughout Term 3, our literacy will focus on using and creating procedural texts. We will begin by linking this to our STEAM tasks and a variety of other fun activities, including the creation of video tutorials. We are beginning with a novel study on Storm Boy, by Colin Thiele.
Our mathematics has a strong focus on fractions, decimals and percentages. A strong base knowledge in multiplication and division fact families is key to this learning. Teachers 2020

Getting Started in Remote Learning 2.0
- Using Class Dojo Portfolios: Students have practised how to use their Class Dojo Portfolio to upload work, ask for assistance and read teacher feedback.
They are to upload Due Tasks on the day (where possible) through their portfolios. These tasks will be specified in the planner. - Passwords:
Students were given a new workbook for Remote Learning with all the log-ins and passwords they will need. - Asking for Help:
We would students to treat this round of Remote Learning as a transition into secondary school and an opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning by having a go first, then asking questions when they need clarification.
Students have been encouraged to carefully read through the instructions each day for each activity, if they still require assistance, they should ask parents or older siblings for help first. If they cannot help, please message us in their Portfolio via Class Dojo. If they still require assistance, please ask again! It is tricky sometimes to understand what the activity is asking you to do. - Webex and Extra Help:
A reminder that students are to be in a living area of the house with parent supervision when on Webex.
Grade 6 will run optional Webex sessions at 1:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. These sessions will be for any students who require assistance with their work. You would be expected to have the work you would like help with you when you log in to these sessions.
These sessions will begin in Week 5. - Parent-Teacher-Student Partnership:
We thank you in advance for your support. You were all incredible at supporting us and your children in Term 2 and we know we can do this again.
Thank you in advance for:
# Helping your child understand the work to be completed.
# For checking they've completed their work and submitted the set tasks before they finish up each day.
# For checking the Class Dojo feedback from us and discussing this with your child.
# For getting in contact with us if things get tough. We are here to help and we will do what we can to help ease the load.
