News from Year 4
Over the past week in Year 4, students have been busy defining weathering, erosion and landforms. We conducted experiments involving sugar cubes and jars. The students then shook these jars to imitate different weathering to the rocks. We spoke about types of weathering and different forms, such as water, wind, rain, animal and plant growth.
In maths we have extended our awareness of equivalent fractions. Students were asked to model equivalent fractions using a puzzle and then located these on a number line. We are moving to adding fractions with like denominators and representing tenths and hundredths.
