Year 4 Update

Learning Outlook for Week 8 & 9

🧠 Maths

This week we have continued our division topic. We have been learning to use arrays to solve division equations with and without remainders as well as a new focus on short division.  Students are learning to explain their thinking and show how these strategies can be applied in different situations.

The last week of Term 3 students will focus on location, using grid maps, coordinates, and directional language to give and follow instructions. They will also see how these skills connect to real-life examples like Google Maps and playgrounds.

📚 English 

Students have been using their voice, expression and teamwork to bring scripts to life in Reader's Theatre. They have explored antonyms, identified morals in stories and began writing their own narrative plays in groups. 

The last week of Term 3 students will practise predicting strategies in reading, rehearse and perform plays with clear voices and expression, revise spelling from the term, and explore similes and metaphors in texts.

💬 SEL 

Week 8 R U OK? Day

Students discussed what is means to feel upset or overwhelmed, identified who their trusted adults are that can support them and expressed wellbeing through art. 

In the last week of Term 3 students will learn about different forms of violence, discuss the emotions people may feel when affected, and share acts of friends that can support others. 

🌏Humanities

Students identified and described natural and man-made features of familiar places and wrote about them for their information reports. 

In the last week of Term 3 students will finish writing their information reports and present them to their classes.
