Buddies, speeches and wet day timetable

What absolutely horrible weather we have had today! I hope you are all keeping safe travelling home tonight. Due to the terrible weather forecasts for this week, I have suggested that students bring some board games or other activities from home that they can do inside if we have a wet day timetable over the next few days. In saying that, our class has been absolutely phenominal, even though they have been cooped up inside.

For Science Week, we paired up with our buddies at did some coding this afternoon. Year 6 students helped teach their buddies how to do basic coding steps using Lightbot and Scratch Juniour. Mrs Thompson and I were blown away by how encouraging the Year 6 students were and how well they explained concepts to their buddies. Well done Year 6 students!

Last, but not least, we have started speeches in class this week. A big congratulations to all students who have presented their speech so far. One thing that they have all had in common is interesting topics and great research. I have personally been very impressed with the quality of all speeches presented so far and can't wait to see the rest of the class present their speech tomorrow or early next week. There will be a semi-final for the Year 6 students that will be on Thursday 1st September and the Grand Final will be held on Thursday 8th September, combined with the Year 5 Grandfinal. Good luck everyone!

CAKE STALL, PHOTOS AND TERM ACCOUNTS

Dear Room 17 Parents

our cake stall date has been changed from next Tuesday to Tuesday 6 September. This is due to ICAS Maths being held next Tuesday. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Funds raised will continue to go towards the bus for camp and the Year 6 Graduation Dinner later in the year. 

Term 3 Account has gone out. There are a few things for Term 4 on this account because next term you will have the camp fee and we didn't want to overload everyone in the final term.

 

Thank you so much to everyone for bringing in their Art photos. There are some gorgeous pictures that will used to create some beautiful pieces of Art!

 

Please don't forget we have photos next Monday. Unfortunately the graduation tops won't be here in time, we had hoped they would be. An email has been sent out regarding what Year 6 students must wear on the day.

 

Federation and Democracy

Yesterday we started our focus on Federation and Democracy. Students were put into 'States/Colonies' based on their interests with the symbols representing each state which linked to their industries before Federation. Boundaries were formed across the classroom and students had to work out their fines, history of their Colony, create money and negotiate with other states.

Over the next four weeks students will be learning the importance of Australia Federating and the difficulties they would have faced before Federation in this fun format. Already we have had some interesting discussions between colonies and some creative ways of earning money.

Since we are currently doing the Census, I have also created a Census for the students to do today that will be a snapshot of their state/colony and later we will combine our data to create a snapshot of Australia (our classroom).

As part of our Federation and Democracy unit, each student was also allocated a Prime Minister of Australia to write a biography about over the past two weeks. Students are now finalising these biographies in class by typing them up to publish. Once finished, we will create a class timeline of Prime Ministers.

Below are some videos we have or will be watching in class relating to Federation and Democracy if anyone would like to watch them again at home.
