Homework Due : 26th November



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

·        Bourke Street Christmas Myer Windows

·        Australia 108

·        The Melbourne Zoo

·        Docklands

·        Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI)

·        Queen’s Bridge

·        Southern Cross Station

·        The Melbourne Cup

·        Young and Jackson

·        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
