Year 4

Over Term 4 we will maintain our strong learning focus on Reading and Spelling programs which are proving to be fantastic.  The students continue to be involved three times a week in each area, together with their classroom teacher teaching the explicit strategies required to be a literate student.  We are focussing on advertising as our unit work over the term. 

We are continuing our Geography unit which looks at recycling and reusing to sustain our environment and mapping.  In digital technology we use computers which gets us thinking digitally.  We hope to enjoy science where we will design games using force, and investigate power through push and pull.  We have some great pinball machines coming into school and thank parents and carers profusely for their assistance.

4A welcomes a prac student to their room, Ms White, who is in her final year of a Masters Degree.  We already love her contributions and look forward to working with her.

Swimming training for the swimming carnival will take place and will hopefully be a welcome relief on a hot day.  Swimming will begin in Week 3.  We have begun practise for Arts on Stage in our drama lessons and love showcasing our talent.

 As we draw near to the end of the year we will be working hard to retain our focus whilst looking forward to the celebrations of Christmas.  Report cards will be distributed in the last weeks of Term 4.  Education Queensland has confirmed that Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11^th of December will be pupil free days this year.
