Year 4 Update

Our learning Weeks 6 & 7

English

Continuing their learning of narrative structure, students have been learning to answer literal and inferential questions about our class novel Matilda. They have also focused on handwriting with numbers and punctuation, spelling long vowel sounds, and improving sentence structure by creating and identifying compound sentences.

Maths

Students are continuing to work through the place value unit, focusing on rounding, as well as renaming larger numbers to work out all the ways they can be made using different place values.

SEL

To describe the influence that people, situations and events can have on their own and others’ emotions.

Humanities

Students have been learning to understand what it means to be healthy and the variety of ways to be healthy.

Homework
Reading	We strongly encourage students to read every night. Please use their diaries to record their reading and ensure they are signed by a parent or guardian before returning to school.
Maths	We encourage students to regularly practice their times tables at home to build confidence and fluency. This will help them progress through their levels and strengthen their math skills by the end of the year.
Humanities	Students may receive a Humanities homework task to support their learning in class. We encourage families to have these conversations at home to help students deepen their understanding of identity and history.
Spelling	Students are given spelling words to take home and practice.

A friendly reminder that school hats are required to be worn during recess and lunch. Students who do not have a hat will have to spend recess and lunch under the shade sails. We also encourage wearing sunscreen and drinking plenty of water during the school day.
