3/4 B

Welcome back, students and families! As we embark on another exciting school year, let's embrace new opportunities, friendships, and knowledge. Remember, each day is a chance to grow, explore, and make a difference. Let's approach this year with enthusiasm, kindness, and a willingness to support one another. Whether in the classroom, on the yard, or in our community, let's strive for excellence and celebrate our achievements together. Here's to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, laughter, and memorable moments!

Maths

Topics for term 1 include:

Data Representation

Counting & Place Value 

Addition & Subtraction

Units normally are completed over a two week cycle and some units of work will occur multiple times across the year. 

Inquiry

Our term 1 Inquiry unit is called First Contact. The students will learn about the lives of the First Australians before European settlers arrived in Australia and the causes and reasons for the journey of the First Fleet. They will practise thinking and acting like historians as they are immersed in stories of first contact between Indigenous Australian and European settlers.

Education in Faith

The Sacrament of Reconciliation for Year 4 students will be celebrated on Friday 22nd March in St Francis Xavier church at 6:30pm. Late last year Ms Marion sent home some of the initial information. We will begin preparations for the Sacrament very shortly. Please contact Ms Marion or your child’s classroom teacher if you have any questions.

Home Learning

This year students will have the opportunity to participate in home learning activities. These will be forwarded home shortly.
