The new school year is officially underway and the Year 4 children are settling in nicely to their new morning routines, whilst figuring out how to navigate the upper hallways and staircases.  They are slowly adjusting and starting to enjoy this new sense of independence and responsibility.

Year 4 are beginning to explore how they ‘think about thinking’, by consolidating their understanding of brain function through their Brain Breaks, Mind UP lessons and the development of their visible learning attributes.  Through their Maths, English and Learning Challenge lessons, they will strive to take an ordered and organised approach, enabling them to work thoughtfully and systematically. Reflecting, analysing and evaluating their work will be the next step in the development of their higher-order thinking skills throughout the year.

Year 4’s journey towards becoming more independent, resilient and resourceful has successfully begun. Pride and confidence in their abilities will begin to shine as this new school year takes hold.
