Year 3/4 students have made a great start to the school year by participating in lots of engaging learning activities. 

Literacy

Students have explored the school library and the different book genres found within it. 

They have also been learning all about persuasive texts.  They have read persuasive books, identifying the persuasive devices used. Students have learnt how create their own persuasive arguments, so watch out for them practising this skill at home!

Maths

Students have been consolidating their understanding of the key idea of place value. 

Students have also been exploring concepts of time.  They have practised reading digital and analogue clocks, learning about elapsed time and exploring the months and seasons of the calendar year.

SEL

Students have been learning about managing friendships through URStrong’s Friendology course. This involves practising skills they can use each day in their interactions with their peers and prepares them with the tools they need to manage conflict when it arises.

Inquiry

The topic of Personal, Cultural and Social Identity encourages students to explore their identity in relation to groups that they belong to and to consider how these groups have influenced them.
