A big congratulations to everyone who attended the Sing Festival today! Not only was your singing absolutely beautiful, but your behaviour was outstanding, in particular with how respectful you were listening to other schools.

Well done on your amazing effort and we can't wait to hear your feedback from the judge.

Week 8 Term 2

MIGRATION HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:
This week students will be using their migration interviews (that were all due today) to write a mini biography. In class we discussed the structure of the biography and what information should be included where. Biographies usually run in chronological order, so this is something we emphasised in class. Students will be given another session tomorrow morning to work on their biographies and ask any questions, however this will be mostly a home based task.

Students are allowed to type their biographies if they wish or they are able to hand write them on a seperate piece of paper. Good copies are not to go in their writing books since we will be displaying their work. I encourage students to decorate their work and include a picture if possible.

Spelling - 10 COMPLEX sentences (list 3 and 4 words)

Weekly updates

Hi everyone,
just a reminder that Friday is a Pupil Free Day and that Monday is a Public Holiday so there will be no school on both of those days.

Next week is also Heritage Week. There will be a range of activities across the week including in class mapping our ancestery on a world map, dressing up in our traditional dress on Thursday and a bushdance on Friday. All Year 6 students will also be completing an interview with someone who has migrated to Australia. This may be a family member, family friend or even peer from school (we have many migrants in our class and year level). They will be given a week for this task and we will discuss it in more detail on Monday.

Today we listened to the first broadcast from Wembley FM run by Room 18 all about Migration. Students took notes in groups and sang along to the catchy tunes. Room 18 did a wonderful job and we can't wait to do our radio show, hopefully next.

Our radio show will be about the 7 Wonders of the World and 7 Wonders of Australia as these tie in nicely with our Inquiry Unit about "Events/People/Places that Shaped the World". I have asked students to please either take notes about their Wonder or print off information to help them next week with writing their report since iPads may still be down.

Have a very fun, but also safe, long weekend!
