    I am very pleased to be teaching you again this year!  We have developed an exciting Term 1 context for you: 

    The Me in Team

    This term, across your learning areas, you will be developing your interpersonal skills and learning about leadership, and the role people play in a team or community group.

    In time, you will be identifying a community issue and solving the following problem: how do we teach the community about how we can work together to find a solution for the community issue?


    In English, to help you explore the ideas of leadership and teaming, we start by studying a range of short texts.

    Learning Intentions: We will be developing our understanding of...

    • how texts are shaped for different purposes and audiences.
    • ideas within, across, and beyond texts.

    Success Criteria:  I can.....

    • recognise, understand, and consider how texts are constructed for a range of purposes, audiences, and situations
    • identify particular points of view within texts and recognise that texts can position a reader
    • make meaning by understanding increasingly comprehensive ideas in texts and the links between them
    • make connections by exploring ideas within and between texts from a range of contexts
