TERM 1
During our first term this year, we investigated how our great country is governed. Some highlights of this unit were our Aussie Day Trivia Challenge and our mock election. Our trivia challenge was a fun way to apply our knowledge about Australia while giving us a distinct taste of teamwork in a unique way. During our mock election, we developed some extremely entertaining and effective advertisements before we voted "The Sporting Party" in for a short term.
We also analysed some of the work of Paul Jennings, one of our favourite authors, to help us write our own narratives.
TERM 2
This term we have been busy preparing for the Year 5 and 7 NAPLAN Tests aswell as the Year 6 QCAT. Since conquering those hurdles, we have embarked on our unit Big Bad Bush Bushrangers. Did you know that our local area was once home to some fairly active bushranging activity?
We have also been focussing on the genre of newspaper reports. Our goal by the end of this term is to create the front page of a 19th century newspaper featuring a report on an Australian bushranger.
Stay tuned for more updates soon!
