Year Four - Spotlight on Learning

Dear Families,   

We hope you had a restful and joyful Easter break, filled with quality time and meaningful moments. As we begin Term 2, we’re excited to welcome all our students back and continue building on the great progress made in Term 1.

This term promises to be full of engaging learning experiences, exciting opportunities, and continued growth. Whether it’s through classroom projects, extracurricular activities, or special events, we’re committed to supporting each student as they thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We join with millions around the world in mourning the passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. We give heartfelt thanks for his life and ministry, and for the way he inspired us to walk as pilgrims of hope, compassion, and faith.

As always, our doors are open, and we value the strong partnership between home and school.

Here’s to a fantastic Term 2!

Next Week we are learning about...

Religious Education Focus

This week students will be exploring the heroes of ANZAC Day and how they were called to serve.

Students will continue their work on decimals and percentages. The students will learn to recognise and extend the application of place value to tenths and hundredths and use the conventions of decimal notation to name and represent decimals.

Integrated Studies

This week students will be looking at how Democracy works within the Australian Government and role play doing a mini election. 

Social/ Emotional Learning & RRRR

Students will be completing the last few lessons on personal and cultural strengths where they will learn about respect, and using their strengths to show respect.

Auslan Focus

Students will begin unit 3A and learn that they can shake their head when signing to show the opposite and vocabulary such as: ‘Everyone stand up’, ‘Are you ready? Let’s start!’, ‘very good’ and ‘Do you understand?’

Reminders

Please pack some fruit or a healthy snack, for children to have a mid-morning brain break, and please send a filled water bottle with your child to school. 

Although hats during play are not exepected during Term Two, we recommend that students continue to wear their hat particularly if the UV is predicted to require it.
