Year 3/4 Cluster News
Home inquiry: It is Sustainability Action Week! Students have selected an action that they are aiming to do throughout this week that helps sustain our environment. As a cluster, the 3/4 teachers will be giving up printing and photocopying! If your child is doing an action at home throughout this week, please take a photo of your child doing it!

Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop: We are continuing to read the book ‘The Lorax’ and how we are impacting the earth. We will also be watching the movie and will be doing a text comparison. We will be finalising our persuasive texts, which relate to our chosen act of sustainability.
Mathematics: Next week we will be continuing with looking at data and using this information to create graphs. We will be interpreting this information using mathematical language.
Reminders and information:
Sustainability Action Week – Week 7
Students have selected an action that they are aiming to do throughout Week 7 that helps sustain our environment. They have been given relatively free range with what they would like to do, ideally we’d like it to be something different to what they are doing already.
Please have a chat with your child about their action and discuss how it will work with your individual circumstances. The intent is to not be an extra burden to families, but a change that is manageable. It does not need to be done every day (ie. walking to school). If the action is being done at home, can you please support your child by taking photos on their iPads of them completing the action. This will help with their final reflection task.
Christmas Concert – Friday 28th November (Week 7)
Our Christmas concert is fast approaching. It is expected that all children are in attendance for this event. For this amazing event, we ask the following:
Children are dropped to the classroom at 6:45pm.
Year 3/4 children are to be dressed in a purple top/dress and purple skirt or plain shorts/pants. This can be their school shorts/skorts if you wish.
