Year 7 - 12 Class
We’ve almost made it through another busy term where students have worked hard and continue to develop their skills.
English SACE Stage 1
Our three SACE English students are progressing well as we near the completion of Stage 1. They are all at different stages, but all are on track to have completed at least one semester of Essential English. For SACE they need to complete two assessment tasks that involve analyzing a text, and two tasks that are creative.
English 7-9
Currently the secondary class are completing a novel study. There are three different texts being read depending on year level and all students are progressing well. They are almost finished reading and are answering comprehension questions as they go. Next term they will be completing a literary or a comparison essay depending on their year level and the text they have read.
English 5/6
The Year 5/6 class have been focusing on comprehension this term which has seen some pleasing results. The class has just finished writing a memoir text where they had to think about a moment in their past and write about it in detail. Some excellent work was produced. We have just viewed the movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid and will complete some assessment tasks around that in the coming weeks.
HASS 7-9
We have completed our study on Medieval Europe in HASS which the students thoroughly enjoyed. Currently the students are completing a project-based learning assessment on a myth, legend or folklore of their choice. There have been some great ideas coming out of this and I’m looking forward to reading them next week.
HASS 5/6
The Year 5/6 class have finished up the term with a unit of work on the Gold Rush. We will be looking closely at the Eureka Stockade and how it helped shape our government and democracy.
Art 5-9
We started the term with acrylic painting on canvas, and are now focusing on line and shading. Students have been enjoying creating art incorporating optical illusion and shading techniques. The students have been taking great care with their work with some great results.
