Year 4 Newsletter
Dear parents,
What great weather we had for our first week of swimming, perfect swimming weather!
What's happened in year 4 this week?
English - This week we have continued looking at persuasive text structure.
Maths - This week we have continued using mathematical modelling to solve practical problems that involve additive and multiplicative situations, including financial contexts. We have also played maths games and revised concepts taught this semester. For the remaining two weeks of term, we will be playing maths games and revising maths concepts.
Inquiry - This week’s Inquiry was all about our country presentations. We have loved seeing our students present their research and talk about their African and South American countries with confidence and pride. We have certainly learnt a lot this week and are absolutely blown away by what our students have produced for their at home project and presentations. Thank you for assisting your child to complete this task.
