5/6 have been very busy in all learning areas during the last few weeks of term. 

We finished our novel study on the book 'Convict Boy' by Jackie French and began collating all our research and sentence building together to finally write an information text based on the First Fleet and convicts life in early Sydney. This has resulted in some amazing written texts that have utilised all we have learnt about this term: appositives, complex sentences, relative clause, subordinating conjunctions and much more. The level of detail gone into these pieces of writing is wonderful. 

We have also been busy in History focusing on Australian Government. A couple of weeks ago, the students role played a House of Representatives meeting, which was very fun but also a great opportunity for student's to further understand how passing a bill works in Parliament House. To finish their history unit, students have studied how different organisations have contributed to the growth of Australian society.

All students in 5/6 have worked so hard this term, producing high quality work and are excited for the holidays.
