CONNECT WITH YEAR 3/4
Welcome to 2016 in the Grade 3 and 4 classrooms.
Learning and Teaching
In Year 3/4 We Are Learning To....
READING: make connections between the books that we read and ourselves, other books and the world.
WRITING: understand the structure of a Narrative; beginning, middle and end.
VCOP: Focus on Vocabulary through 'WOW Words' and include them in our oral language and writing.
MATHS: build on our understanding of the place value system, through ordering, expanding and renaming numbers.
UNIT OF STUDY (People Power): identify the difference between expectations, rules and laws. We are investigating how these are created, who enforces them and why they are important.
SPELLING: use SMART spelling strategies including breaking words into sounds and syllables, identifying the 'tricky' parts of the words and listening to and writing the words from a dictation passage.
eLEARNING: use the iPads and Netbooks to support and extend learning through Mathletics and Reading Eggs and for research and publishing purposes.

With the weather warming up students are required to wear a hat when they are outdoors. Sunscreen and keeping hydrated are also encouraged.

If a child is without a hat, they are required to play in the shaded area.
