Year 4 Update
Upcoming learning: Term 3 Week 10
During the next week, Year 4 students are undertaking learning in the following areas:
Reading:To make text to text / self / world connections from the BFG.
Writing:To check, edit and publish writing pieces neatly.
Maths: To use grid systems and coordinates to locate landmarks and plot points on spreadsheets/maps.
Inquiry: Our topic this term is 'What's our place in the world?'
Students will develop a mental map of the world and their understanding of place through examining the major characteristics of Australia, Australia's neighbouring countries and Africa and South America.
S.E.L: To seek safety and help.
News and reminders:
We welcome Vicki Christofi to 4D, who will be teaching Monday - Wednesday for the remainder of the year. If you see her around, make her feel welcome and introduce yourself.
Reading Homework: Students are encouraged to be reading 15 minutes each night and recording their reading in their school diaries. We ask that parents please sign diaries at the end of the week to acknowledge that your child has read for at least three nights.
Drink bottles: Please remember to bring a drink bottle to school every day. It saves disruption to your child's learning when this is accessible within the room. They are able to fill up their bottles in a nearby classroom.
Devices: Please ensure that devices are being charged each night and are brought to school EVERY day. There are no spare devices available in classes if students with a BYOD have forgotten theirs.
