Learning News 3/4

Years 3/4

The Year 3/4 learning space has been a vibrant hub of learning over the past few weeks, packed with engaging activities and new discoveries.

English 

In English, we've been exploring the world of advertisements, learning how they work and how to create them using various media, including the design platform Canva. Students have been developing their understanding of persuasive language and visual communication to effectively compose their own advertisements. Below are some examples of advertisements students have created.

Mathematics

In Mathematics, students have been developing their ability to select and apply mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction involving 2- and 3-digit numbers. This learning encompassed a range of mental strategies, such as bridging to the decade, compensation, the jump strategy, and balancing.

Art

Our Art explorations have taken us through different mediums, and this week we turned our attention to clay. Working with clay allowed students to develop their fine motor skills as they learned to manoeuvre and manipulate the material, shaping and moulding it to bring their artistic ideas to life.

Whole class reward

Exciting news for next Tuesday afternoon! The whole class will be enjoying a reward scavenger hunt, earned through their amazing learning journey this term. This is a fantastic way to celebrate all their hard work together.
