Years 3 & 4

Term 1 2025

Reading and Writing:
This term in Reading, Years 3 and 4 will focus on strategies such as identifying the main idea, making predictions, visualizing, sequencing events, and finding facts and details in texts. In Writing, students will develop their skills in creating engaging narratives, persuasive texts, and clear explanations. Parents are encouraged to support their child’s reading at home by listening to them read each night and share their thoughts about the texts they explore.

Numeracy:
Students will strengthen their understanding of place value, fractions, and addition while also exploring length and 2D shapes. Through hands-on activities and problem-solving tasks, they will build confidence in applying these concepts in real-world contexts.

Inquiry:
Our inquiry topic this term is Community, Remembrance, and Celebrations. Students will learn about the significance of Country and place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural groups within Melbourne, as well as traditional corroboree rituals and significant Australian celebrations. We will also study the First Fleet and its impact on Australian communities, supported by an exciting excursion to deepen our understanding of our nation’s history.
