Year 3/4–Celebrating Learning

In 3/4, students have been learning to use the OREO structure to plan and compose their own persuasive writing as well as investigating and trialling various strategies to enrich their narrative pieces too. Through reading we’ve been focusing on morphology and identifying common text features across many different articles and stories. 

Under the mathematics umbrella, we have just finished up our learning around place value and are excited to move on to chance! Below are some things our students have had to say!
