Year 6 Camp

Year 6 Camp

Students took part in a 3 Day camp in the beautiful surrounds of Nanga Bush Camp in Dwellingup. The camp begun with a liturgy centred around ‘talents and gifts’ which linked in well with the classes RE Unit on ‘Vocations’. This theme was then linked in with ‘leadership’. While there, students participated in a number of activities centred around teamwork and leadership while other activities encouraged students to take risks and challenge themselves!

Walkathon

Walkathon

Raising money for Caritas (Project Compassion), students took part in a 4km Project Compassion Walkathon around the school! Organised by the Year 6 Pastoral Committee with the special ‘blue’ theme chosen this year, the event started with a special presentation about Caritas and included an explanation outlining the purpose of the event and where the funds raised would be going. It was wonderful to see so many families offer to help out during the day which assisted immensely in the success of the day. The vibe was great as students and staff completed each lap.

Talk for Writing

Talk for Writing

This term our Year 5 and Year 6 classes are focussing on the narrative genre during our whole school ‘Talk for Writing’ program. The model text being used is titled ‘The Red Eye’ and is about finding a lost map. Many maps have clues in which to follow, usually leading to a treasure. For our ‘hook’, students worked together to solve a number of puzzles to unlock different challenges using the website ‘BreakoutEdu’. While some challenges were relatively easy, others increased in complexity and really required team work in order to triumph.
