About Grade 6, 2011 Mr Bunyon

The Grade 6 class is a fantastic bunch of students! They are eager to learn, cooperative, creative, fun and encouraging towards each other. They enjoy reading a wide variety of genre and they are active listeners to stories, particularly the class novel, ‘Holes’.

This term we have been learning about Earth and Space. The class has particularly enjoyed our project work this term and there are some creative projects gracing our room at present. We particularly enjoyed our excursion to Scienceworks and a great day was had by all.

The students’ spelling and general understanding of how our language works is improving weekly as we use DIPL (Doorway into Practical Literacy) as a major tool for this skill development. Our Maths understanding has been developing well this year and the students are very much enjoying our times-table challenge.

Our curriculum is varied with a broad range of activities: Art, Music, French, Indonesian, PE, Library, Buddies (we delight in spending time with our Prep Buddies) and District Sport where we get to play against another school every Friday. We will also be beginning to use our new IPADS more regularly each term which is going to be loads of fun!

We begin each day with an assembly time with the whole primary school and we enjoy this time very much. It includes worship, quizzes or a short message and is a great way to focus our minds before the class work begins.
