Fantastic 3/4

Term 2 Week 6 2023 

What have we been up to? 

In Literacy, our focus continues to be on information reports. Our students have been engaged in exploring different types of information reports. For the remainder of the term, our literacy lessons will revolve around creating an information poster about Aboriginal Culture as well as creating an information report on a topic of their choice in the last two weeks of term.  

In Maths, we have been delving into Number and Algebra concepts. We recently introduced the concept of subtraction to our students. To ensure each student is appropriately challenged in all maths sessions, we have organised them into groups that target their specific areas of need.

In Science, we will continue to explore how the environment impacts butterflies, providing valuable insights into the natural world.

In Inquiry, students have been researching different Aboriginal Dreaming stories. The students have really enjoyed looking into the history of these stories. The students have been working very hard to create their very own performances based on the dreaming story of their choice. 

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Best regards,

Year 3-4 Teachers

Here’s what we have been up to

What’s coming up?

Literacy

In Literacy the students  will  be creating their own information texts, using their research skills, and learning how to present information in a clear and engaging way.

Numeracy

In Maths, we will continue our  focus on subtraction. The children will learn various subtraction strategies and develop their problem-solving skills through the use of real-world scenarios and word problems.

Science & Inquiry

In Science, we will be exploring the Biological Sciences. The children will learn about living things, including their structures, behaviours, and interactions with their environments. They will engage in hands-on activities and experiments to deepen their understanding of living systems. 

In Inquiry, our focus will be on Indigenous Australians First Contact. We will be exploring the historical context and impact of the first contact between Indigenous Australians and European settlers. Through this inquiry, the children will develop a deeper understanding of the history, culture, and perspectives of Indigenous Australians.
