Year 6 is off to a flying start to 2024 both in and out of the classroom. The class are currently enjoying the Australian classic ‘Storm Boy’ as the focus for their writing unit. The students have begun to develop their own settings and characters for their very own novels using a range of language devices such as metaphor, simile and personification. There are many young and upcoming authors in Year 6 and it has been wonderful to see their creative minds at work. After working so hard in the classroom, Year 6 had the opportunity to release some steam at the annual St Mary’s Swimming carnival. What a way to spend a Thursday and everyone is to be congratulated on creating a fun and encouraging vibe. Lastly, Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed guiding their Kinder buddies through the first few weeks of school. We are having lots of fun making crafts and playing games during our weekly catch up.
