Year 4

Central Idea: Beliefs and Values can be Expressed and Interpreted in Different Ways

Line of Inquiry 1: How beliefs and values are communicated in different ways.

Line of Inquiry 2: How communities are built upon different beliefs and values.

Line of Inquiry 3: The relationships between beliefs and values.

This term, we explored our Big Question: 'How do we show what we believe, and does the way we show it change what people think?'

Through our learning in Year 4, we discovered that how we share a message - whether through images, words, or actions - can significantly influence how others understand and respond to it. The way we communicate really does shape how our beliefs are seen by others!

Core Text: 'Call Me Lion'

Transdisciplinary Texts: 'Around the World in 80 Festivals'/'Celebrations Around the World'/'Children Just Like Me'.

Mini exhibition:

Thank you to the parents that attended our mini exhibition.  It was great to see agency in the classroom when you created a piece of artwork that reflected your families beliefs and values.

Science

This term, children in Year 4 explored the scientific method of experimenting with colour. Through hands-on investigations, we made predictions, observed changes, and recorded our findings - just like real scientists!
