We are nearly at the end and what a term it has been. As always, so much growth from all the students in year 4. Everyday they amaze me with what they know and how far we can take our learning. With many units coming to an end, students are completing assessments this week and next week.  

Our Math lessons have been focused around fractions with students learning how to create equivalent fractions and adding fractions. While in Geography and Writing lessons we are looking at South America and Africa as wonderful continents to travel to and explore. Students next week will complete their persuasive text and try to encourage others to visit countries from these continents.  

In Science this week we moved onto food webs and students began to identify that there is no one way a food web can work. Many animals (consumers) can be linked to other animals in different ways. Students were given the chance to create food webs and see the connections. It was pretty clear that the poor innocent poisonous mushroom could actually wipe out many animals if consumed.  

Next week we look forward to a class reward and Principal’s Morning Tea. Sadly we have said goodbye to one family, the Drums and will say goodbye to another, the Collins’. We wish both families all the best on their next adventure and will fondly remember them for the kind hearted people who have contributed to the St Joey’s community.  

I would love to wish everyone a restful school holiday break and will forward to seeing everyone in October for a busy term 4.
