Our inquiry question for this term is "What does
the government do for me?" We will be looking at the three levels of
government in Australia, what government in Australia does, how it
operates and how laws are made. As well as looking at what the government does for us, we will also be looking at our responsibilities as citizens of Australia. We will be going on an excursion to the Electoral Education Centre and Melbourne Museum. We need a number of parents to attend this excursion so please let your child's teacher know if you can help out. Interschool sport has already started. The games are played in the afternoon, beginning at 1:15 p.m. The children have already brought notes home with all of the details. Grade 6 transition forms are due back this term. Keep an eye on the school newsletter for further information, as well as the transition noticeboard. This term we are working on problem solving in Maths with a focus on the strategy of using tree diagrams. We will also be measuring length, perimeter and area. Late in the term there will be a note going home about the 5/6 camp, which will be Derby Hill in Maldon. You will be asked to indicate if your child will be attending and to pay a deposit of $20. We have purchased a number of books to assist us learn about our topic. If any parents can help out with covering these books please let one of the 5/6 teachers know.
