Firstly, I just want to thank all the families for making time to see me in the last fortnight and celebrate all the learning that has been happening in grade 4. It has been really valuable to use that time to reflect and acknowledge how far we have come since the start of the year. My door is always open if you want to discuss any concerns further.

We have moved on from studying multiplication to looking at multiples and finding the pattern in those multiples. We have had a few ‘aha’ lightbulb moments this week when we have understood the concept. We have been exploring this concept in small group rotations by playing games, working with the teacher and using Ipad apps to further our understandings.

Geography this term is about maps and locations of countries in relation to Australia. We will be exploring what the words country, continent, and other similar words mean. We will also be learning about the different weather and features of these places.

In writing, we have completed a quick unit on persuasive texts and are moving onto narrative texts this week. In this unit we will explore the features of narratives and the vocabulary that keeps us hooked in these books.

Our attendance is 67% of students are attending 95-100% of the time. Every day counts.

Wearing red for Daniel Morcombe this week.
