Our Learning in Years 3 & 4

It has been a great start to the term, where students have come refreshed and ready to learn.

In Literacy:

Students about learning about nonfiction books, where they have been identifying the text features such as a contents page, macro (overall topic), micro (subtopics) and many others. They have been discussing how these features support them while reading and finding information within the text.

In writing students have been using our Inquiry topic ‘Ocean Pollution’ to collect information and write an information report. Each week students have focused on a different component of the writing process to develop their understanding and write effectively.

In Numeracy:

Students learnt about data, where they were given an opportunity to complete a data project where they developed a question, collected data, graphed their data and analysed what their data was showing (you’ll see this work in your child’s portfolio on ClassDojo).

Other learning:

This week students have participated in a Water Safety Program at Genesis. Students are learning about water safety and swimming skills that are very beneficial. Students that are at school have been participating in a theory-based program, where they have been learning about water safety in various locations including home, local pools and beaches.
