Year 4 Update

Upcoming learning: Term 3 Weeks 4 & 5

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

Reading:To explore figurative language 

Writing:To plan, draft and publish narratives.

Maths: To solve subtraction problems using the vertical algorithm.  

Inquiry: Our topic this term is 'What's our place in the world?' 

Students will develop a mental map of the world and their understanding of place through examining the major characteristics of Australia, Australia's neighbouring countries and Africa and South America.

S.E.L: To understand bullying and its impact on communities. 

Across Week 4, the Year 4 students are participating in the Potato Olympics, where their athlete will compete in a variety of events. Students will be awarded points in the event, based on completion, showing kindness, respect and resilience.

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: 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.

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. 

Book Week Dress Up: Monday 19th August. Come dressed as your favourite book character. In the morning students will participate in a parade around the basketball court.
