Hi Year 4 families! How have we arrived at Week 6 of Term 4 already?  

Our learning has continue to challenge us and help us develop a deeper understanding of what has been taught. In English, we have undergone text analysis to write a preference and argue this preference in a debate! We have developed clear arguments with evidence!  

In Science, we have been exploring materials. One experiment was about conducting a fair test and dependent and independent variables. This experiment was called Snap, Stretch or Tear! This investigation helped us develop our vocabulary for this unit as well! We are describing the properties of  

One of our favourite Maths activities was the Chance and Puzzle Escape Room. We had to solve 5 problems to ‘escape the room’ and win the golden key to release everyone! We focused on the probability of outcomes (e.g. rolling dice, flipping coins, etc) and using mental calculation strategies to do multi step problems.  

In Religion, we have been investigating the history of the Catholic church in Australia. We have researched significant people and developed our understanding of Indigenous spirituality before the church was established.  

Our highlights were the visits from Andrew Chinn, Father Darius and Bishop Joe. Check out our photos!

Kind Regards,
