TERM 4 OUTLINE

English

Writing: Students will be focussing on descriptive and procedural writing. They will look at the structure and language features of procedural texts. Students will identify the purpose of procedural texts, and understand how it can vary in complexity and technicality depending on the approach to the topic, the purpose, and the intended audience. Students will also revisit persuasive and narrative writing in preparation for NAPLAN. They will also practise their touch typing to improve their efficiency when working on their devices.

Reading: Through reading daily, students will continue to develop their reading fluency and word recognition. Students will also strengthen and extend their comprehension skills focussing on summarising, monitoring, predicting, questioning, visualising, and making connections. 

Spelling: Students will continue with the Spelling Mastery program. At the end of each week, they will participate in a spelling test.

Mathematics

In Maths, students will be focussing on number sense, statistics, and probability.  They will apply their knowledge of the four operations, measurement, decimals, fractions and money as they participate in hands-on activities such as using maps and working with money.    

Science

In the unit ‘Weather and Water,’ students will identify sources of water on Earth and key processes in the water cycle, and will describe how water can cycle through the environment. They will distinguish between weather and climate and will explain how human activity can impact climate and how these impacts may be reduced.

Humanities - 'First Contacts'

Students will study the nature of contact between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the Europeans. They will explore the effects of these interactions, including issues regarding land ownership. Students will find historical information to determine the nature of colonial settlement, the effect of significant events, and the role of individuals in shaping a colony.
