Grade 4

Literacy

In Literacy, students have now finished reading His Name Was Walter by Emily Rodda. Throughout our novel study, students explored rich vocabulary, made connections and discussed the themes and ideas presented in the story. They also examined how Emily Rodda crafted her narrative, including her use of language, character development and storytelling techniques, and applied these ideas to strengthen their own writing.

Numeracy

We have now begun our new Numeracy unit on Mass and Capacity. Students are exploring how to measure, compare and estimate mass and capacity using appropriate units and mathematical tools. They are developing their understanding of common units of measurement and applying their knowledge to solve practical, real-world problems. Students are also learning to convert between different units and explain their reasoning using mathematical language.
