Grade 4

Literacy

In Literacy, our Year 4 students are currently enjoying The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as part of our novel study. Through the text, students are developing their comprehension skills while exploring characters, themes and key ideas. Alongside our reading, students are learning how to write persuasive letters, focusing on expressing a clear opinion, supporting ideas with strong reasons and evidence, and using persuasive language to convince their audience. We are looking forward to seeing their persuasive writing skills continue to grow! 

Numercy

In Numeracy, our Year 4 students have been developing their understanding of angles and location. Students have been identifying, describing and comparing different types of angles, as well as using grid references and directions to locate and describe positions. They have enjoyed applying these skills to practical activities and challenges, building their mathematical reasoning and ability to communicate their thinking clearly. 

Bricks 4 Kids Excursion

Our Year 4 students had a fantastic time during the Bricks 4 Kidz incursion! Working with a partner, students followed step-by-step instructions to build their own LEGO robots. This hands-on experience connected beautifully to our current novel study of The Wild Robot, allowing students to explore the idea of robots and technology in a fun and practical way. Students developed their teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills while having plenty of fun creating and testing their robots. 

Alpha Show

Our Year 4 students had a wonderful time attending the school-wide Alpha Shows incursion. Students were treated to an engaging musical theatre performance of Rapunzel, filled with music, humour and memorable characters. The performance shared a beautiful and empowering message that the power is within us, encouraging students to believe in themselves, recognise their own strengths and have the confidence to overcome challenges. 

Book Week 

Our Year 4 students had a wonderful time celebrating Book Week! Students enjoyed dressing up as their favourite book characters and proudly participating in our school-wide Book Week Parade. Throughout the day, students took part in a range of fun Book Week activities, celebrating the joy of reading and exploring different stories and characters. It was a fantastic day filled with creativity, imagination and a love of books!
