Let's start using the 4S Parents' Forum

I have created a special page for parents, somewhere that you can leave messages, make comments or give us suggestions. I will get a student to check it every day so that we can reply to you promptly!

Student Led Conferences

It's time for the annual Student Led Conferences to take place, on Tuesday the 25th of April.

• These are a fantastic opportunity for parents/guardians to get an insight into their children, what and how they learn and who they are when at school.
• It's an opportunity for students to "show-off" new skills, new understandings, new attitudes and new knowledge in a really meaningful way.
  
• It's a chance for teachers to see their students really putting their learning into action.

Remember, the students are in charge. They will have the conference planned right down to the smallest detail!!!

Welcome Back!

So... you only have twelve weeks left in Grade 4! Two Units of Inquiry left - "Ancient Civilisations" and "Forces and Energy".

Over the next twelve weeks you will really have the chance to show how far you have come since the start of the year. The Student-led Conferences are on the 25th of April, and you have the opportunity to show your parents what your capable of.

We're going to be doing a lot of maths work so that you leave Grade 4 feeling confident that you're ready to take on new mathematical challenges in Grade 5. We'll be exploring fractions and decimals, shape and space, angles, measures, handling data, techniques for addition and subtraction and reasoning about numbers.

We're going to do a lot of writing too, helping you to identify areas in which you need to improve, giving you personal writing targets and building your confidence in your ability to transfer your thoughts and ideas into writing.

We are also going to do a lot of thinking about attitudes, and which ones you need to develop so that you can make the most of Grade 5.

It's going to be a lot of hard work, you will need plenty of energy, enthusiasm and commitment. Let's go for it!!!
