This week, Year 4s are wrapping up our class novel, Charlotte’s Web. Students have loved following Wilbur and Charlotte’s journey, and next week we look forward to exploring how this story has been adapted into film.
Students have begun an expositional speech unit. Each student will be developing a speech for an audience member from Ashburton Primary School staff. We’ll be exploring the differences between formal and informal tone, and learning how persuasive devices can be used to strengthen arguments and engage listeners.
We continue to investigate tenths and hundredths in decimals in maths. Alongside this, students have been revising units of measurement and are now turning their attention to angles - identifying and working with right, acute, and obtuse angles in everyday contexts.
Within our Allies for Inclusion unit, students have started brainstorming ideas for an inclusive picture storybook. They are storyboarding the layout of their texts and drawing on skills developed during our recent narrative writing unit to create meaningful and imaginative stories.
Students are looking forward to upcoming events;
Friday 5th September - Ashy Olympics
Friday 12th September - AuslanHub Incursion
