Grade 3/4 News

Welcome back to the 3/4 page. 

What a wonderful term it has been! The 3/4 teachers are incredibly proud of the effort and enthusiasm our students have shown throughout the term. There is still so much more to come, including our Grade 3/4 Camp next term! 

Reminders

Student devices will remain at school during the holiday break. 

Literacy

In Literacy, students have developed information texts through our Blue Marble topic. They have enjoyed researching, creating slideshows, informative posters, and campaign advertisements to raise awareness about their endangered animals. 

Numeracy 

In Mathematics, students have been increasing their understanding of area and perimeter and have enjoyed putting their skills into practice by designing their own theme parks and play spaces. 

Upcoming Learning 

Literacy

In Term 3, students will continue developing their use of Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, and Punctuation (VCOP) in writing. They will also review tenses, verbs, adjectives, and the long o and p sounds in words.

Mathematics

Students will begin next term by focusing on the measurement concepts of mass, volume, and capacity. They will build connections through hands on activities and investigation tasks.

Topic

Through the topic First Contact, students will explore the history of Australian communities and develop an understanding of the traditions, experiences, and contributions of diverse cultures over time.

Respectful Relationships

Next term, students will learn about 'Positive Coping'. They will explore how to identify emotions within themselves and others and determine healthy ways to manage emotions.
