Year 6 Exhibition: Celebrating Learning in HASS, Technology, and Art
Year 6 Exhibition: Celebrating Learning in HASS, Technology, and Art
Last term, our Year 6 students embarked on an educational journey, delving into the migration history of Australia. They explored the stories of different migrant groups, understanding their reasons for migrating, the challenges they faced, and the significant contributions they made to Australian society.
Harnessing their technological skills, students brought history to life through the use of the Scratch platform and Makey Makeys. Using copper tape and Makey Makey inputs, students made their research posters interactive, allowing readers to hear the text being read and experience music and audio to gain a deeper understanding of the migration history of the country they researched.
To accompany their inquiry, students created artefacts that symbolised the experiences and contributions of their chosen migrant groups. From intricate sculptures to modelled food, each piece told a unique story, reflecting the students’ understanding and respect for the cultural diversity that enriches our community.
The Year 6 Exhibition was more than just a display of academic achievements in HASS and Technology. It was also an opportunity to share artwork created in Art in response to the students learning about influential artists.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 students for their dedication and hard work. Their projects not only demonstrated their academic skills but also their empathy and appreciation for the diverse histories that shape our world. Having the opportunity to have families come and celebrate this learning in our newly renovated classrooms was the perfect way to highlight the collaborative spirit and enthusiasm of our students.
