Year 3/4

Year 3/4 Cluster News 

Home inquiry: We encourage families to share/email the class teacher a photograph of cultural art works from home. This relates to our line of inquiry for our ‘Where we are in place and time’ theme: art reflecting the diversity of experience. 

 

Each year our Year 4 students have the opportunity to attend Endeavour College for a treasure hunt and experience some different activities. This year we will be attending on Thursday June 19th. We will be departing GGLPS at 11.30am and returning to school at approximately 2.45pm via the school bus.  

*Reminder to complete the consent form sent out earlier this week. 

Mrs. Riches and Mr. Salisbury will go with the Year 4s to Endeavour. Year 3s will stay at school with Ms. Neumann.

Learning this week:   

 In Week 8, we reflect on the ‘Where we are in place and time’ unit of inquiry and publish information texts about the impacts of Colonisation on the environment, people, culture. 

 

Mathematics: Focus on time and exploring duration (days, hours, minutes, seconds), analogue and digital clocks and understanding hands. We will also be solving problems using am and pm and use timetables. 

 

Christian Studies: Exploring morals/ ethics through a range of Bible Stories to recognise how our decisions impact interactions and relationships with others.
