5/6 have been very busy this term and have produced wonderful work in all learning areas. 

In English, we have been working on writing a persuasive letter to the Arctic Council to demand action to save the polar bears from extinction. This is based on research and information gathered during the study of the novel, The Last Bear. The students have learnt how to correctly structure a letter, use complex sentences and write using persuasive techniques to convince the reader of their opinion. 5/6 have taken great interest in life in the Arctic Circle and there has been much discussion and research into how people and animals live in that part of the world. 

In Religion, 5/6 have been identifying and comparing areas of justice and injustice in our local community and in the world. To do this, they have studied the Catholic Social Teachings as well as scripture to enhance their understanding of Christian leadership and making a change for those in need. 

In Geography, 5/6 have been busy learning about Australia's connections with other countries around the world. They have looked at Australia's trade, tourism, technology and cooperation connections and are enjoying learning about the importance of these connections.

5/6 have enjoyed learning the theory and elements of Art this term. They have created an elements of art poster that describes the different parts needed to create a piece of art as well as a colour theory poster that explains how colours are mixed, blended and shaded to create different hues. They have nearly finished a piece of art experimenting with shading  using charcoal. 

It has been a wonderful term and the efforts of 5/6 have resulted in some excellent learning and work samples. Well done!
