Literacy
In our Literacy workshops this week the students viewed the graphic novel “The Arrival” by Shaun Tan and considered the connections they make with a text. These connections may be between the text and their lives, the text and others texts and the text and the world. The students also considered how the text made them feel and what the message may be.

This week the students also furthered their understanding of Chinese migration to Australia by investigating a variety of online primary and secondary sources. They described and identified how ideas are represented in texts. This connected to our neighbourhood inquiry into Chinese New Year and the differences and similarities between cultures.
