Grade 6
|
Term 2 is set to focus on major events that have shaped the population growth of multicultural Australia. We begin with our indigenous heritage, moving to the settlement of Australia by the British, and events such as the gold rush, disease pandemics, wars, etc that led to an influx of immigrants at different times.
Our literacy will have stronger focus on narrative texts, in particular, historical narrative. In numeracy, our core work will include the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and geometric concepts around shape and angles. |
