Term 4: The End is Near!

We have survived camp, waterwise, our showcase, zone tournaments, Sci Tech and have now made it into our final term! This sounds like a very common theme in Year 6; however once again it is jam packed term with a range of activities, school work and events. We had a lovely introduction into our term topic of Globalisation by visiting the new Auckland Art Gallery and are well on our way to looking at a range of cultures within our school community. The students may come home over the next few weeks and ask a range of questions in regards to their culture or even tracking where their family originally comes from.

There was a team newsletter that has gone home for the term but if it has struggled to make its way into the front door, then please see the attachment along with, 'Save the Dates' for this term.

Our team has also decided to take on a social project by organising children books to be sent to less fortunate schools in South Africa. If in any way you are able to help with this fabulous cause then could you contact Miss Fridd (LFridd@meadowbank.school.nz).

As a team and a school we are very impressed with the work ethic, behaviour and time management skills of the year 6 students. They have done exceptionally well to keep up with such a busy school life. We do however have high expectations of all students right up until the final day, so if you can continue to promote the completion of homework right up until the end of term that would be fantastic.

A big thank you goes out to all parents who have continued to help the year 6 students and teachers throughout the year.

If you do have any concerns or queries then please do not hesitate in contacting one of the year 6 team.

We look forward to seeing you at one or all of our save the date events.

Many thanks,

The Year 6 Team :)

Term 3

The three year 6 classes are extremely busy this term. We have speeches, cross country, exchanges and our showcase! Please check out some of our other pages to find specific information. Each child took home numerous letters, and parents were sent emails in regards to what is required for the showcase as well as expectations for homework.We would greatly appreciate it if everyone could please stick to time frames.

As you know Sci Tech is coming up during week 9. This term we are focusing on the concept Discovery and we will be taking a scientific look at Earthquakes and Building Structures and how each action has an equal an opposite reaction!

If you have any concerns or queries then please don't hesitate to either contact your classroom coordinator or teacher. :)

We look forward to seeing you at one or all of our many events this term.

Many thanks,

The Year 6 Team 2011

Welcome to our Year 6 wiki!

This year we have decided to combine all three Year 6 classes onto the same wiki. However each class will still have their own page to upload photos and to share work that they have been working on.

We hope you enjoy,

From The Year 6 Team :)
