Year 4 Term 1, Week 3

Week 3 is all about celebrating and re-connecting with Mali's friends. It has been a tough few weeks in isolation while having COVID and transitioning to homeschooling routine. So we started off with a picnic with Mali's school friends at the Quarantine Reserve on Sunday...

Then we went to our first Inner West Homeschool meet up at Federal Park Playground in Annandale. It was such a lovely day to run around and play outdoor. Mali also made a few new friends 😉

As for our homeschooling, this week Mali did a lot of learning from her Nanna's house while I was at work. They leant about how plant grow from seeds...

Learning new vocabulary from weekly reading comprehension.

Continue her art work from last week, learning about Warm & Cool colour...

Paper Weaving from her painting.

This week English...

This week Math, we continue to learn our Times table tips and tricks...

Mali crosses out all the Times tables that she already learnt and circle in red the tricky one that she will need to learn next week.

Health, learning about Food Groups

Mali also goes to swimming lessons each week as her PE 😜

For History, Mali is researching a Great Explorer for her work sample. She decided that she wants to learn about a female explorer.

This week Science, we learnt about Earthquake.

We also managed to visit the biggest Japanese Bookstore in Sydney, Kinokuniya as part of our Outdoor learning this week. Mali was very impressed with their graphic novels or "Manga" which she enjoyed reading now 😂

That's it for this week. We are ending our week 3 homeschooling with a playdate with Eve at her house after school.

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.

Year 4 Term 2 - Week 9 & 10

Week 9 & 10 Art English Math

Year 4 Term 1, Week 5

Week 5 - We have made it half way through Term 1 now yay! The rain continued all week so our HS weekly catch up was cancelled. 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...
