Jericho Community

Dear Families, 

Although it has been a short week, students have enjoyed a range of learning activities. They have practised complex sentences in English, measured capacity in Mathematics and explored how dance communicates meaning. In Religious Education and Social and Emotional Learning, students have reflected on ways to support others and show care and respect. Next week, we will commemorate Remembrance Day as a school community, remembering those who have served and sacrificed in war.

Congratulations to our week 4 award winners!

Learning in Year 4

Religious Education:

Next week in Religious Education, students will explore how they can continue Jesus’ mission by helping and supporting others. They will reflect on choices and actions that show kindness, love and care, helping to bring about the Kingdom of God in our world.

English:

Next week in English, students will learn to write complex sentences by adding independent clauses to dependent clauses. They will practise combining a complete idea with a supporting idea to add detail and meaning to their writing.

Mathematics:

Next week in Mathematics, students will learn to measure the capacity of different containers using millilitres and litres. They will practise using measuring tools and choosing the appropriate unit to record their measurements.

Integrated Curriculum:

Next week in Integrated Studies, students will explore how dancers use controlled movements, focus, gestures and facial expressions to communicate meaning. They will experiment with changing movements to create different effects and explain their choices while performing safely and respectfully.

Auslan:

Next week in Auslan, students will continue exploring the theme of sea animals, learning signs for animals such as sharks, dolphins, whales, crabs, penguins and octopuses. They will build on their understanding of how to use signs, descriptive phrases, facial expressions and body movements to communicate information about an animal’s appearance, size, shape and actions. Students will apply these skills to create their own underwater stories, using illustrations and Auslan to describe the sea animals they encounter. These individual stories will then be combined to create a collaborative class story.

Social & Emotional Learning:

Next week in Social and Emotional Learning, students will explore what gender-based violence means in age appropriate ways. They will learn to identify unfair or harmful behaviours linked to gender, recognise signs that someone feels unsafe or uncomfortable, and suggest fair and respectful alternatives. We will reinforce that everyone has the right to feel safe and be respected.

Important Classroom Reminders:

• Please ensure that you are labelling all your child's belongings.
