CLASS CELEBRATION
Room 7 & 8 have worked hard in Term 2 and deserve to celebrate their efforts and achievements. We will celebrate with a shared lunch on Wednesday 4th July, Week 10.
We ask that students bring a plate of food to share:
Room 7 - savoury
Room 8 - sweet
Thank you.
READING
Read and answer the Gold Rush comprehension PDFs in their Google Drive. Pages 6,7 & 8.(History folder)
Students continue on entering answers in the document they created last week. Each question directly relates to the comic strip style pages that are also in their drive.
We will check and mark all questions on Friday.

SPELLING
Complete your look, say, cover, write, check in their LSCWC small notebook.
The 4 boxes in their LSCWC book need to be completed by Thursday.
It is best that they complete a LSCWC on separate nights. Some kids have shown great improvement with a practice test also given by their parents on one night. Please get them to slip/staple any extra practice evidence into their book, to show us.(LSD)
HISTORY
Add final touches and edits to their projects which will be graded this week. We recomend that students present the website to someone at home and answer questions about each of their pages and why they have created pages, added information and how they found their information.
Year 5 and Year 6 students have different curriculum focus topics.
We have attached the homework assignments and assessment rubrics below.
Year 5's focus is - Investigating Colonial Life in Australia.
Year 6's focus is - Contributions to Australian Society.
Although this is an individual assignment and we will be spending a considerable amount of time in class working on it and explicitly teaching aspects, we are hoping that students take the opportunity to extend their work and presentation skills using their homework time.
Obviously we don't want parents doing the majority of the assignment for their child but we both encourage that parents take particular interest in this assignment and assist the students with:
- Researching - locating quality information and visuals (photos and videos)
- Writing - Making sure that the information on their website is in their own words (not copied)
- Website - Helping from a users point of view. Is the website easy to navigate, engaging and informative?
JAPANESE
Continue to work on your own slides presentation that displays all the characters we have learned so far. Spend a few minutes each night reviewing the characters. There will be a test on Friday week 9 (E,U,MA,RO,DO,GI). There will also be a test on these words: kita, minami, higashi, nishi.(directions NSEW).
