Year 4 Term 1, Week 2

We started our week 2 of homeschooling in isolation with some new vocabulary, written in floral style by Mali. To make it fun, she also made up some silly sentences to use as many new words as possible 🤣
She also wrote a plan for this week...
We then continue on with our pre-reading and hand writing.
This week we continue our Chapter 2 & 3 reading of Charlotte's web. Mali and I really enjoy this book so far. We loved that we haven't seen the movie yet so each chapter we read together is a surprise!
For our weekly reading comprehension, we decided to download some interesting short article from Literacy Planet.


Mali will add new words she learns from each weekly article in her "New Words Book"


Some Mathletics exercise...
continue with Metric units for measuring...

Some metal math game while eating Sunflower seeds (someone just made a new discovery of new healthy and yummy snacks! 😂)



Creating visual learning for Times table...
played some fun mental math game...Mali was very competitive and learnt to add up to 3 cards within 30 sec 🤣
For Health this week, we did some simple experiment to save an apple from going brown....and introduce the idea of why it's important to eat different type of fruits and veggies.
For Science, we continue to learn about our wonderful Earth and different types of Tectonic Plates
Mali also did some art and fun activities during her weekly visit to Nanna's house 😘



That's it for this week. We are going watch one of our old time favorite movie Oddball together this afternoon to end of learning week.

Year 4 Term 3 - Week 7 & 8

Week 7 & 8  Mali has read 2 novels this term so far so as a treat, we chose an ebook from the library that I can read to her. She really enjoyed being read to and simply follow the words and find out new vocabulary and discuss storyline together. We decided on Stunt Kids by Trent Roberts. We have read 5 chapters so far this week. Mali continues to do her reading comprehension workbook independently. Science & History - we have decided to incorporate more independent learning when I am away. Mali will complete her assigned tasks via email and send an email to me when she had completed her tasks. It's a great way for her to spend some independent time while staying with her Nanna. Math - Art - some sample of Mali's digital drawing.

Apart from our twice weekly swimming lessons, most of our activities were indoor. This week we did some sample work on "Story retell" so Mali spent a bit of time planning and created a funny book with some texts and illustration of the "Life of Wilbur" so far 😂 Then the usual English work... For Science, we learnt about Volcano....Mali did a beautiful diagram using Drawing Desk software instead of doing in on a construction paper. Mali also did an introduction to coding using Scratch. We will download ScratchJr app so Mali can start learning some basic coding blocks. We continue to learn more Fractions and introduction to basic Division in preparation for Long division procedure to come over the next few weeks. We also went to the library this week to borrow a few more books and Mali have found the entire section on Manga!! She continues t...
