Hello families of Year 4!

What a brilliant start to Term 2! How is it May already? We have been working hard and dedicating ourselves to our learning!

In English, we have been writing Informative Texts. We have been learning how to research factual information and organise it effectively. Some animals we have written about are the Eurasian Eagle Owl, Flamingos, and Red Back Spiders. Take a look at our writing!

In Geography, we are learning all about sustainability. We have identified different resources that support our comfort and survival. We have looked at how we use these resources in different ways and how we can use them more mindfully.

In Science, we have been exploring forces. Push, pull, gravity, friction, magnetism and air and water resistance. We have conducted a number of experiments testing gravity and friction. In the experiment, we changed the surface of a ramp to see the changes in friction.

The highlights of this term so far have been AFL on Wednesdays and our special guests from Athletics Australia! We broke the record for the whole school in our Agility, Balance, and Co-ordination obstacle course! Finally, our Mother’s Day celebration was a unique opportunity to share our school lives with important women in our lives!
