The 5/6 class are in the midst of finalising their Inquiry projects at the moment. Each student has selected their own topic around Tasmania’s colonisation to investigate and report upon. They have needed to come up with their own questions to guide their investigation, then conduct research to discover the answers. Their final project will form part of a whole class timeline, tracking events including Tasmanian Aboriginal life prior to settlement, the arrival of explorers and colonists, and the settlement of Van Dieman’s Land.

In Maths we have been learning about Order of Operations as well as squared and cubed numbers. We have also been busily preparing for the end of year and transitioning for our Year 6 students into High School next year. We enjoyed our trip to the Botanical Gardens to watch the Treasure Island performance, but then had to sadly farewell our classmate Mikayla, who moved interstate last week. Preparations are also in full swing for our End of Year Assembly, Big Day Out and Leaver’s Dinner… Exciting times!
