3/4B

Inquiry

This past week in Inquiry we have been learning about different cultural celebrations such as Christmas, Ramadan, Hannukah, Chinese New Year and Kwanza. The children completed some research using approved links, placed their research into a mind map and created a Canva presentation to display their new knowledge. 

They then shared their research with the class by presenting their Canva presentations with a short oral presentation.

Literacy

This term, our Year 3/4s are exploring Persuasive Writing using Katherine Applegate’s novel, The One and Only Ivan. Through Ivan’s story, students are examining the ethics of animals performing in circuses. They are learning to build strong arguments, consider different viewpoints, and use persuasive language to share their ideas.

Education in Faith

During the month of October, Catholics around the world honour the Holy Rosary. This past week, students have been learning about this powerful tradition of prayer and reflecting on the Mysteries of the Rosary—the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries. By walking through key moments in the lives of Jesus and Mary, the Rosary offers our students a quiet, meaningful way to meditate on faith, hope, and love in their everyday lives.

Kind regards,

Brendan and Ashleigh.
