We can’t believe we are already over halfway through Term 3! The Year 6 students are super excited about the Ashy Olympics next Wednesday and have been practising their skills to ensure they give it their best. It’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm across all areas of learning. Over the past two weeks, they have been:
- Exploring different cross-sections of 3D shapes. Students have enjoyed hands-on activities to see how slicing 3D objects creates different 2D shapes. They’ve also been using isometric paper to draw their shapes, building both their spatial awareness and accuracy.
- Refreshing their vertical addition and subtraction skills in preparation for moving onto multiplication next week. It’s been great to see their confidence return as they revise these core number strategies.
- Nearly finishing their book study of Skellig, which they’ve loved unpacking. Students have been exploring the novel’s key themes and symbols and discussing the deeper meanings behind the text.
- Completing their narratives, where they have done an amazing job bringing their stories to life. Students are now refining and editing their work to prepare polished good copies.
We’ve had a cracking start to Term 3, and it’s fantastic to see the effort, enthusiasm, and creativity the students are bringing to their learning. There are still plenty of exciting things to come!
