Ever heard someone say… “I have nothing to read!” Adding a comment to our blog is a great way to share with each other the brilliant books we have read.

As part of the ‘Real Life’ task for the homework, you can post your Book Review to the Brilliant Books page in our blog.

Does history shape us?

Does it make us who we are?

This unit of inquiry provides the opportunity for us to understand the change from colonial Australia to the development of Australia as a nation, particularly after 1900.  We will explore the factors that led to Federation and experiences of democracy and citizenship over time.  We will understand the significance of Australia’s British heritage, the Westminster system and other models that influenced the development of Australia’s system of government.  We will learn about the way of life of people who migrated to Australia and their contributions to Australia’s economic and social development.

Historical inquiry is the process of  investigation undertaken in order to understand the past. Steps in the inquiry  process include:

• posing questions,
• locating and analysing sources and
• using  evidence from sources to develop an informed explanation about the past.

For the first weeks of the year we have been getting to know our new grade – the individuals within it and the way our grade works as a community . We have learned about communities, discovered how we connect with each other, how we as individuals stand out, what sort of intelligences are our strengths and what we value. We’ve been doing a lot of talking (and listening) about what is important to us (our values) and what we can do to ensure we have a fantastic final year of primary school and be a successful learning community (our class norms). We used ‘Wordle’ to make a picture of what 6MW values.
