What on this week...? (Term 4, Week 4)

This week, we begin a new focus in English. For the next two weeks we will be examining and writing poetry. The children will learn about figurative language and many different types of poems. In Maths, we continue to look at shape, area, volume and capacity. On Wednesday, the children will have their first transition session into either a grade 3 or grade 4 class, not their class for next year, but just to experience what it will be like next year. We continue our Heating Up unit and we will investigate the conductivity of different materials when heated by hot water. The children will also continue to work on their MOSCARS movies. Please remember that Friday 31st October is a curriculum day and therefore there is no school on this day. Have a great week...

We had a great start to the term this, completing lots of work. The students were all happy to be back at school and worked hard. This week, we will continue to work on Multiplication and Division in Maths. We will also do some cooking (biscuits) to use (and eat) as part of a division game. In English, we continue looking at how narratives work, and begin writing our own narratives. We begin our history topic this week, that focuses on continuity and change in our local area. We will run this unit simultaneously with our science unit. We will complete a few assessments over the next two weeks, as we head towards the end of the year. Book fair begins later next week, and our class will be having a preview of what's on offer on Thursday. Another good week. Enjoy it...!
