Year Four - Spotlight on Learning

Dear Parents,

This week  students had a great time creating their own Olympic games as part of their Maths lessons. We extend our gratitude to all the parents who came to support and admire the students' fantastic creations.

Mathematics: Students will begin learning about Fractions. This will include identifying equivalent fractions and ordering fractions.

English: We will continue to read “Storm Boy” and complete grammar, vocabulary and comprehension tasks related to the text. Students will start learning about the key features of an Information Report. They will begin writing their report on the Coorong, focusing on using the correct tense, incorporating subheadings for clarity, and using precise language with descriptive adjectives.

Religious Education: Next week students will be learning about the significance of the Assumption of Mary and create a WordArt that highlights the qualities of Mary.

Social Emotional Learning/RRRR: Students will be exploring and comparing the roles traditionally assigned to male and female characters in classic fairy tales. They will also examine how these roles have evolved in modern children’s literature.

Auslan: In Auslan students will practice the signs for; Today is hot, Tomorrow will be hot, Yesterday was cold, Two days ago and In two days.

Reminders:

Swimming lessons will continue this week till Thursday 15th of August, students will be attending swimming lessons at Kingswim. 

• Children will need the following things in a swimming bag; bathers, googles, towel, underwear, plastic bag and spare socks. We ask that students wear their bathers underneath their sports uniform each day so that lessons can be started promptly.
