Year 4 Update

Upcoming learning: Term 4, Weeks 7 & 8

During the next 2 weeks, Year 4 students are undertaking learning in the following areas:

Reading: - To practice the skill of note-taking and summarising. 

Writing:  To summarise non-fiction texts by identifying key words and using them to write a concise summary. 

Maths: To use different measuring tools, to measure capacity.

Inquiry: Our topic this term is 'sustainability' 

Students will will look at the recycling process, discussing the materials for recycling, explain the landfill process and discussing how lifestyle choices contribute to carbon and climate change.

S.E.L: To describe characteristics of cooperative behaviour and identify evidence of these in group activities. 

News and reminders: 

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 & hats: 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. Hats are also required to be worn outside, please ensure students have a sun smart hat.

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.
