Fantastic 3/4
Term 2 Week 7 2024
What have we been up to?
We’re speeding towards the end of Term 2 but there is still plenty to get done before the holidays finally arrive. The final weeks of Term 2 will see students reinvestigate narrative writing but using a number of different picture prompts to practise using nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives to form simple and complex sentences. Students will also be exploring literary devices that build suspense and excitement.
In Reading students will continue growing their knowledge of word origins through the Morpheme Magic program and develop their reading fluency by segmenting and blending through the Little Learners Love Literacy Program. They will also be aiming to finish the text ‘Misery Guts’ which they have been working their way through over the last term. The unit of learning will conclude with a book review looking at what they enjoyed in the story and what could have been developed further.
In Maths students have begun learning about Division at their point of need and will continue to explore how collections of items can be broken into equal sized groups. As students work towards the end of the Science unit of learning they will be reflecting on the different environments that they have explored this term including: tundras, deserts, tropical rainforests and temperate grasslands. The unit of learning will conclude with the creation of a PowerPoint on one of the environments that they enjoyed learning about the most. Inquiry will see students finalising their learning about living and non living things and these are used in our everyday life.
Reports will be published on Friday the 21st of June and will provide a good indication of how each student is progressing with their learning. We would encourage families to book a time to meet with the classroom teacher in Week 11 on Monday the 24th to clarify any results and to get a clearer understanding of the students progress.
Important reminders:
- Homework books should have one activity completed each week and be given to the classroom teacher to check once a week.
- If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email your child's classroom teacher. Here are some photo highlights:
