4E

Term 1 has seen 4E become scientists and we have learnt about the physical properties of natural and manmade materials. We have enjoyed making predictions and conducting experiments. One of our favourite experiments was looking at how long different materials take to decompose. This experiment involved planting a variety of materials, monitoring the changes and recording their observations.

This week in Mathematics, we have learnt about Addition and Subtraction and had a great time showing our understanding using a variety of mental strategies, such as the split and jump strategy and using formal algorithms.

In Literacy, the book we have been reading is titled, ‘The Honeybee’ by Kirsten Hall. 4E used modal language to create a persuasive letter regarding the importance of honeybees and ways we can protect them in our environment.
