Year 3/4

English: 

The beginning of term 4 started with student exploring narrative non-fiction texts. Student looked at narrative nonfictions in many forms, including picture story books, song, films and plays. We are learning that true stories can be told in engaging and exciting ways.

Students have been practicing reading a clock and calculating elapsed time. Students have been using number lines to help calculate passing time. We are also using card games to continue practising our multiplication. Here are some photos fro 3/4b:
