Curriculum News, Year 4 

Term 2, 2025

Welcome to Term 2. We hope you all had a lovely Easter and great break. 

 

This term the Year 4 students will participate in the House Cross Country with the opportunity to progress through to Districts and beyond. 

 

They will once again have the opportunity to shop at the Mother’s Day stall, run by our wonderful parent volunteers! 

 

For our ‘How we organise ourselves’ unit of inquiry, Miniboss will visit us at school and provide hands on experiences to support learning about teamwork and communities through their ‘Island Escape’ incursion.

We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.

 

Inclusive Approaches

In Year 4 we will continue to access lessons through the Cybersafety Project and Rights and Respectful Relationships.

 

In Term 2 we will also continue to build harmonious classroom relationships and further encourage positive attitudes, behaviours and routines.
