Welcome to my 5/6R Class resource for parents! I am a Teacher in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs that strongly believes in creating a supported community of learners. Here is a resource to help you engage with what I offer my class at school and enrich your child's development outside of the formal classroom.

Exhibition: From Little Things Big Things Grow
The Museum of Sydney is currently presenting an exhibition called 'From Little Things Big Things Grow.'
This exhibition tells the story of a group of Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, who said 'That's not good enough' – and did something about it. The exhibition tells some uncomfortable truths and celebrates some 'ordinary extraordinary' heroes.
I'm sorry to say that the exhibition runs until the 8th of May - just another week! but if there is any way you can visit - the theme ties directly in with our unit of work this term.
You can visit the website here.
You can also view the 'Gadigal Place' exhibition during your visit, which explores the traditional lives and early contact experiences of the Gadigal and other Aboriginal clans of the Sydney basin. It reveals fascinating stories about how Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people interacted in the early days of the colony.
The 'Gadigal Place' exhibition runs until the end of December 2011.
