English

In the final weeks of Term 4, our English sessions focused on narrative planning and writing. The students created imaginative stories, using all the skills they had developed throughout the year and provided each other with helpful feedback on writing. During our InitiaLit sessions, students also reviewed the spelling strategies they had learned, which helped them read and write unfamiliar words. 

Mathematics

In mathematics, students engaged in various problem-solving tasks that challenged their critical thinking and collaboration skills. They worked independently and together to tackle real-life scenarios. Students practised their skills in determining position and using positional language. Through these activities, they learned to apply mathematical concepts to everyday situations while developing their ability to reason and communicate their ideas effectively.
