Time Activity Web Link

This week we are looking at time. Some of the children played this time game on this link. It is a good one to play at home.

What's on this week...? (Term 2, Week 2)

For maths this week, we will be focussing on time. In English, we continue to write our fables and we also look at time connectives to help make our writing more interesting. We have our first lab session this week, and we will continue with EduPLEX. We will complete a science activity on Thursday and on Friday the students have grade 3/4 sport. Enjoy the week.

ANZAC Day in 3/4F

Today we celebrated ANZAC day ahead of tomorrow's ANZAC Day celebrations. We discussed what ANZAC Day means to us all and made poppies to remember all those that served in the war. Lest We Forget.

Pattern Quest

Today, in Maths, we were learning about patterns. The students enjoyed playing this pattern game and wanted the link posted onto the Blog Spot. So here it is:

ANZAC Day Holiday

Just a reminder that because this Friday is the ANZAC Day public holiday, there will be no school on Friday.

What's on this week? (Term 2, Week 1)

Welcome back 3/4F! I hope you've all had a wonderful break and are ready to begin term 2. This week, we begin looking at patterns in maths. In English, we focus on apostrophes of contraction possession. We also begin to write fables, which are short stories with a hidden meaning. Although we don't have George to help us with EduPLEX this term, we will continue the EduPLEX program during our LAB time. The children will work their way through 'Mookii World' which is lots of fun. Later this term (week 5) we begin our first major science topic called 'Melting Moments' (and yes it does involve chocolate!!!). But for the first 3 weeks, we extend last term's topic of celebrations to give the children a chance to complete a research project to present to the class. This will be handed out tomorrow and be completed at home as part of their homework. The children will receive a slightly revised homework format this term as well. Homework will begin tomorrow (Wednesday as normal) and will be handed in on Monday (as normal). So a big week, but lots of fun! Enjoy it!

Term 1 Done!

Well, we have come to the end of term already. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe break. I look forward to seeing you all again in Term two. School begins on Tuesday 22nd April. Remember that Friday 25th April is a public holiday (ANZAC Day) so there will be no school on that day.

Chinese New Year

This term, 3/4F have been learning about celebrations (both local and international). This week, we finished off our Chinese New Year lanterns with Chinese messages (thanks to Reyna, William and Wenhao) and information about when and why it is celebrated and what it means to the Chinese. The children did a good job. You'll notice that most are red as this is the traditional colour of Chinese New Year.
