Our Year 6 students recently completed an in-depth home language task where they researched and created a river brochure. This river was either from their home country or it was a river they were very interested in learning about.
Students explored sub-topics such as the river's geography, its natural environment and the kinds of activities that took place along the river's banks or in its waters.
Beautifully presented, this extended home language project enabled Year 6 students to develop their academic home language to higher levels. In addition, it increased their general knowledge of river features. Well done Year 6! This is a wonderful example of a curriculum task flipped into home languages!
