Year 3/4–Celebrating Learning

3/4 - Mainstream and Steiner

In 3/4, our mini-mathematicians have been learning about all the different ways that we can add numbers and that some ways are more efficient than others. They have also been collecting and organising data into a variety of graphs and even making graphs online with the data they have collated. Our deadly readers have been learning how important it is to make connections whilst we read and how to retell a story by selecting the most important parts and putting them in order. Our young authors have been learning how to use the Writers’ Workshop model by exploring all kinds of different seeds and the different types of texts you can turn these seeds into such as narratives. In Respectful Relationships students have been learning all about everyday emotions and what they look like, sound like and feel like.

In Class 3, students have been working through the Main Lesson titled ‘Money and Measurement’. Through this unit children are learning ways in which time was measured through history, how money and goods were exchanged through barter, and have investigated volume, capacity and weight. This was done by estimation and use of scaled instruments to find the true measurements.
