Year 4 Update

Upcoming learning:

During the next fortnight, Year 4 students are undertaking learning in the following areas:

Reading: To explore the features of persuasive texts.

Writing: To plan, draft and publish persuasive texts. 

Maths: To develop my knowledge of addition.

Inquiry: Our topic this term is 'Is it fair' 

Students will be understanding what inclusion is by learning about rules and laws, and investigating how we are fair and unfair in our society. Students will develop their knowledge about social justice, empathy and respecting the differences between people.  

S.E.L: To identify strategies that can be used to help deal with strong emotions.

News and reminders: 

Reading Homework: Students are encouraged to be reading 15 minutes each night and recording their reading in their school diaries. We ask that parents please sign diaries at the end of the week to acknowledge that your child has read for at least 3 nights. 

Drink bottles: Please remember to bring a drink bottle to school every day. It saves disruption to your child's learning when this is accessible within the room. They are able to fill up their bottles in a nearby classroom.

Devices: Please ensure that devices are being charged each night and are brought to school EVERY day. There are no spare devices available in classes if students with a BYOD have forgotten theirs. 

Camp: Our Year 4 Camp is from Monday the 26th of August to Wednesday the 28th of August. Our camp will take place at Camp Rumbug. Please stay tuned for the compass event where a non-refundable deposit will need to be placed for those students attending camp. For more information, please see the camps website Unleash Your Adventurous Side | PGL Camp Rumbug | Victoria (pgladventurecamps.com.au)
