Students have had another varied and interesting week of learning this week! We have used two new web sites www.spellingcity.com and www.thatquiz.org to support our learning in Maths and Language in particular. These two web sites support a high degree of differentiation for your child and they will be part of our home learning from Monday. The year four students will have used both of these web sites in class and have their username and password in their reading log book. More information will be sent home on Monday about our new homework set up.
Last Wednesday we visited the Universeum as an end of unit excursion and the students certainly had a very enjoyable and educational time! We think we could have stayed there all day by how engaged and excited the students were to explore this wonderful local attraction. There is a slideshow of pictures from our visit below.
This week we started our new unit of inquiry on How We Share the Planet which focuses on how we use resources and recycling. We discussed with the class what the central idea and lines of inquiry meant and started to explore the concepts in this unit.
Please remember that October the 7th is a Professional Development day for all teachers so there will be no school that day.
We look forward to another fantastic and differentiated week of learning next week and hope you have a safe and happy weekend!
