This term, our students were taught to expand their persuasive writing skills using the ‘Seven Steps of Writing’. Students learnt how to apply their ‘Sizzling Starts’ into persuasive writing. The cohort spent the first half hour of almost every day of the week sharpening their writing skills by creating fantastic introductions and first arguments for their persuasive pieces. This term, there is a greater emphasis on developing the students’ editing skills, which is fundamental to further excel in writing.
The students revelled in the process of their STEM project. They had to plan and create – with the correct measurements, a farm which contains a house, lawn, and various farm animals. After planning accurately, they then designed a miniature version of the farm before constructing it using recyclable materials. Concepts such as area, perimeter and ratio were tested here and of course, children can surprise us with their creative minds!
Our focus for science this term was on electricity. Students learnt about sources of energy which create electricity and delved deeper into the topic of switches (closed and open). They certainly enjoyed the experiments as they learn to discover how a switch works.
For HASS, students continued to learn about Australia’s governing system and history. For drama and health, students were required to create ‘Tableau’ (Freeze Pictures) on bullying. The students were very excited with the challenge, faced it head on and have given it their best shot.

This term proved to be another very busy yet eventful term for us all. The quality of our assessments, resources and teaching has improved and we are on the right track to make sure that our Year 6 children receive the academic excellence they are entitled to when they embark their learning journey with AIC Dianella. Inshallah, better progress and higher achievements can be attained in the following terms ahead.
