Year 4 Report

Welcome to Term 2! We are so excited for all of the fun, interesting and meaningful learning experiences that Grade 4 students will have this term. 

Literacy

In Reading, students will be learning about the purpose and audience of friendly, formal, and persuasive letters. During this time, they will explore the language features used in persuasive writing. Students will be predicting, questioning, critiquing, and making connections to a range of texts while building their reading stamina. Students will explore ways to respond to reading, their reading preferences, and will have opportunities to discuss texts in depth.

In Writing, students will identify the text structure and language features of persuasive letters and use this knowledge to create their own persuasive letter. Students will be expressing their ideas and opinions for an intended audience. Students will continue working through the 5 writing stages to plan, draft, revise, edit and publish their work.

In addition to this, students are very excited to continue communicating with their pen pals through letter writing!

Maths

In Maths, students will be developing their addition and subtraction skills. Our Maths lessons aim to engage the students learning of concepts and skills through games, hands on activities and technology. There are opportunities for students to participate in whole group and partner work, as well as focused small groups. Students will be exploring a range of skills to help them solve addition and subtraction problems. Students will also be investigating time duration and converting units of time. 

Inquiry

This term, students will be learning about democracy and how it has changed over time. Students will explore their rights and responsibilities within their community. Students will be learning about the rules and laws associated with local, state and federal government.

Year 4 students will continue to work hard at developing their vegetable gardens this term.
