Term 4 Learning

This term is a short one with only 8 weeks. The weather is warming up and we are looking forward to summer. Here are some of our learning focuses.

Our school wide concept is: 'Changes'

We will be exploring :

How we can observe changes in our world by looking at day and night and seasons. We are planning a trip to Stardome. 

Writing:

In writing we will be looking at moment in time, 3 point plans (to help us start paragraphing) and recrafting. We will continue to use language features such as alliteration, simile and metaphor, powerful verbs, adjectives, adverbs, onomatopoeia, dialogue and staccato sentences. These skills are reinforced through our personal recounts and cameo writing. In Transactional Writing we will focus on writing instructions. 

Mathematics:

Number: addition and subtraction, number knowledge, basic facts (Weeks 1-2)

Measurement: time and temperature (Week 3)
