Hello Everyone,
This week we are beginning to research our chosen area of
Melbourne for our investigations. It would be wonderful if students could find
information about their topic in books from the library or on the internet and
bring this in for us to look at.
Some of the topics students have chosen include:
·
The Old Melbourne Gaol
·
Flinders Street
·
Richmond Football Club
·
Queen Victoria Market
·
Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
·
Parliament Station
·

·

·
The Melbourne Zoo
·
Docklands
·
Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI)
·

·

·
Kings Way
·
The Yarra River
·
The Royal Botanical Gardens
·
The Princess Theatre
·
The Shrine of Remembrance
·
The Australian Open (Tennis)
If you have at home any books or brochures about these
topics please bring them in to class to share.
Mathematics Update:
In Maths we are learning about time. We are learning to read
the time using words like ‘quarter past’ ‘half past’ and ‘quarter to’. We are
remembering to count in fives to help us tell the time on an analogue clock.
Where possible can you read the time to your parents?
What is happening in Literacy?
In literacy we are looking at prefixes and suffixes.
A prefix comes at the beginning of a word- such as
un/dis/non/im
A suffix is attached to the end of the word- such as
ed/ing/es/ly/ment/tion/er
These change the meaning of words.
Can you make a list of these as homework. (This can be
completed on the computer if you choose)
Just a reminder that we have many notices due back these
include:
·
Swimming Carnival (Due: 30th Of
November)
·
Book Lists (handed out 19/11/12) Due:7th
December
·
2013 School Diary- compulsory for Grade 4’s
(Due: 7th December)
·
2013 School Levy (Due: 7th December)
·
Attendance for 2013 at Lynbrook Primary School
Have a great week,
Miss Cameron
