Grade 4 Community News

We are at the end of a wonderful year, full of amazing learning. We thank you for your continued support towards the students.

Reading and Writing

In reading, we have been learning about a wide variety of poems and the important aspects that need to be included in each type. By studying these different poem structures, we are gaining a better understanding of how poems are written. This knowledge is helping us develop new skills, which has allowed us to write our own unique poems in many different styles and forms. Through this practice, we are becoming more confident in our ability to create poems and express our thoughts creatively.

Here is an example of an ‘I am’ poem we have been working on

In Vocabulary, we are continuing to source our words from our serial text ‘Help Around the House’ by Morris Gleitzman.

Maths

In our math lessons, we have been revising old concepts to strengthen our understanding. We are revisiting topics we learned earlier in the year, such as time, patterns and algebra, multiplication, division and chance. By revisiting these concepts, we have been able to build on our previous knowledge and develop new skills. This process has helped us understand the concepts more clearly, and now we are able to solve problems with greater confidence. As we continue to explore new techniques and strategies, we are improving our maths abilities and gaining a deeper understanding of how to apply these concepts in real-life situations.

Reminders

-    In Term 4 all students must wear a TRPS hat during recess and lunch play time. If you do not have a TRPS hat, they are available to be purchased at the office. 

-    We encourage all families to incorporate lots of time-telling opportunities into their daily routines at home. It is an essential life-skill to read both analogue and digital clocks. 

-    We will have our last day of the year on the 20th of December. Students will be dismissed at 1:30pm.

Thank you,
