This fortnight in year four, we have been focusing on creating sentences that express a complete thought and paragraphs that have only one idea. Only having one idea in a paragraphs challenges us to describe the event in clear detail for the reader to understand. Our recounts will be made up of an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. Although we were in a learning pit with paragraphs at the start of the week, we are starting to climb out the other side as we seek help and give everything a red hot go.

In maths, we moved onto looking at time and how time can be expressed in different ways. Some of us thought that time only meant the time on the clock but we also know that days, weeks and months are different expressions of time. We also know what AM and PM to split up the 24 hours of the day. Alternatively, we can tell time using 24 hour time. This weeks homework is about practising this concept.

Our attendance this fortnight is that 12 students are attending 100% of the time. Students who have consistently been attending school will be rewarded with a morning tea next week. Attending every day helps support students academic growth and it also helps their peers develop. I often tell the students that they can be leaders and lead by example and help other students. 

Next Friday the 13th of September, grade four will be presenting assembly and we hope to see you all there supporting us!
