Year 4 has had an exciting and busy few weeks of learning!
In Week 4, students participated in a special Art Incursion organised by the Parents Committee. The session was inspired by the work of artist Yayoi Kusama, and students had the chance to explore layering and dot art techniques. They absolutely loved the experience and produced some very creative pieces.
It was also Science Week, where Year 4 students experimented and investigated a wide range of topics. From exploring the planets, to testing force and motion, to mixing chemicals and observing reactions, students were highly engaged and curious to learn more about the world around them.
In Writing, we’ve been busy bringing our narratives to life, with most stories now in the drafting stage. In Grammar, students have been learning how a variety of sentence types can make writing more engaging.
Alongside reading our class novel, Charlotte’s Web, students have enjoyed learning about E.B. White’s life and how living in 1950s Maine influenced his storytelling style.Students were especially excited to discover that Wilbur was inspired by a real pig!
In Maths, we have been representing fractions on number lines and will soon extend this understanding to decimal fractions, focusing on tenths and hundredths. Students are developing their confidence in linking these concepts to real-world situations.
Alongside our Book Week celebrations, Year 4 also took part in a Walking Excursion around the Ashburton community. As part of our Allies for Inclusion unit, students explored how accessible and welcoming our local public spaces are for everyone.
