What’s Happening in Year 4

The Year 4 students have come back from the Christmas holiday rested and ready to learn!  We have been really pleased with the level of engagement, the interest shown in our current unit and how enthusiastic everyone is, in general.

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend and take part in the Three Way Conferences yesterday.  We had a great time and hope you not only enjoyed yourself but also learned a lot about your child.

 

What else has been happening?

We have started our fractions unit in earnest now.  Students have been using a variety of equipment to grow their understanding of fractions, and to investigate about improper fractions, mixed numbers and equivalent fractions.

Aside from that, we are primarily  focussed on our unit of inquiry and getting ready for the Celebration of Learning which will take place on Thursday 8 February.  Students have been researching about ailments, learning to determine importance when  researching, and practicing for their final written report.  They have also been unpacking science experiments and how to ensure they are kept ‘fair’.

Please keep Thursday 8 February free so you are able to attend our celebration of learning.  We should be starting at approximately 10.40am, but  we will confirm the exact time at a later date.
