Fantastic 3/4

What have we been up to? 

In Literacy, each class is continuing reading their novel focusing on learning fluency, comprehension, inferring, and predicting skills.3/4 A is reading A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket3/4 B is reading The BFG by Roald Dahl3/4 C is reading Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. Students have started creating a plan and writing a narrative together as a class using their descriptive language learnt from last term. 

In Maths, students have started learning about fractions. They have been learning how to model and represent fractions including 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/5 and their multiples to a complete whole. We have focused on counting by quarters, halves and thirds, including with mixed numerals. Students learnt how to locate and represent these fractions on a number line. Each class has started to investigate equivalent fractions.

This term in Science, students will learn about Earth and Space Sciences. They will conduct experiments and practical based activities, demonstrating their knowledge of the Sun, Moon and Earth. Students will be challenged to ask questions and make observations of the world around them.

This term in Inquiry, students  will explore the world of primary sources, learning how to identify their origin and content features, which will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the significance of various historical figures, places, and events. 

Important reminders:

This term students MUST wear hats! Please ensure your student brings a NAMED school wide brimmed hat to school everyday (NO CAPS) as directed by DET and our school sun smart policy. All students without the correct hat will not be allowed to play in the yard and will have to seek shade in the eating area during recess and lunch.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Year 3-4 Teachers
