3/4B

National Reconciliation Week

On Tuesday, we gathered as a school community to observe National Reconciliation Week. Our class Fire Carriers, Jett B and Xavier S, did a wonderful job helping to lead our prayer service.

Together, we reflected on the profound importance of this week in Australia - a time to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements. The students spent time considering what reconciliation means to them personally and how we can all contribute to achieving a just and equitable future for all Australians.

Numeracy

We are moving into some hands-on and practical units in Mathematics this fortnight.

Year 4: Length, Area, and Perimeter

The Year 4s will be exploring the physical world through measurement. We will be:

• Developing our accuracy when measuring Length using metric units.
• Learning how to calculate Perimeter (the distance around the outside of a shape).
• Investigating Area (the space inside a shape) using informal and formal units.
• Tip: You can help at home by measuring items in the garden or calculating the perimeter of the dinner table!

Year 3: Data and Investigation

The Year 3s will be becoming young statisticians! Our focus will be on:

• Conducting Investigations by asking questions and collecting data.
• Organising information into Categories and creating data displays.
• Interpreting Tables and Graphs to see what the "data" is telling us about our class and the world around us.

Inquiry Project

We have been working incredibly hard on our current Inquiry unit, 'Our Island Home.' After weeks of immersion and research, the students are now well underway with the planning and preparation of their final projects.

The students will be applying everything they have learnt this term - from geographical features to the diverse cultures of our region - to put together their project. It will be wonderful to see them transforming their new knowledge into creative pieces, and we look forward to sharing their hard work with you at the end of term showcase!

District Cross Country

Congratulations to all the Year 3 and 4 students who represented our school at last week’s District Cross Country. We are all so proud of your efforts and sportsmanship!

A massive congratulations to Matthea C, who finished 5th in her event. This is an incredible achievement! Matthea will now go on to represent our school at the Divisional event in Hastings on Wednesday, June 3rd. We wish her the very best of luck!

Track and Field Update

For the Year 4 students who represented our school in track or field athletics earlier this term: we are still awaiting the final results. We should find out shortly if any students have qualified for the next level at the Mornington event, which takes place in early Term 4.

Kind regards,

Brendan and Ashleigh.
