YEAR 6

It has been a busy and fun start to 2025 for Year 6. The Year 6 students have demonstrated remarkable thinking and perseverance in Mathematics this term. With a focus on developing their problem-solving skills, they tackled challenging concepts like whole number, addition and subtraction with enthusiasm. Their collaborative efforts during group activities and their ability to think critically in solving real-world math problems have been truly commendable. These hardworking students are setting a great example of how determination can lead to success.

Additionally, the beginning of student parliament this year has been a positive experience. It has provided Year 6 students with a platform to voice their opinions, propose ideas, and collaborate on initiatives that align with the HSIE curriculum. By addressing topics such as community involvement they are learning the value of leadership, active citizenship, and working towards common goals. The student parliament has not only enhanced their understanding of social and cultural studies but also empowered them to make a meaningful difference within their school community.

Last week students in Year 4 created sundials as part of our Science topic Sunny Days. We have been learning about the earth, sun and moon, and how day turns into night. We used paper plates and a pencil to make our sundials. The important part was choosing a sunny day to make sure the pencil would cast a shadow. We observed the shadow every hour and marked it on our sundial.

“We learned that the Earth moves from East to West and this makes the shadow move around the paper plate” – Prisha.
