Year 4 Term 1, Week 7

 Week 7 - Now that we are seven weeks into Homeschooling, we begin to enjoy our freedom and flexibility on how we learn and what we learn that is most effective and fun!

We started the week with Math problem solving activity which Mali really enjoy. It was a bit of a challenge to get Mali to understand that to solve problem, she needs to first understand what is the question asking and then working out the solution in a logical steps rather than focusing on the correct answer. It is part of learning practical Math which we apply to our everyday living.




As for English, Mali was very proud of herself to have read more than 15 chapters of Charlotte's web so far. There are 22 chapters in this book and we are more than half way there!


Mali also get a chance to learn how to write more descriptive text.


This week history/art lesson, Mali did a research on interesting person from the past and she had chosen Hilma af Klint, you can see her poster here


This week Science, we continue to learn more about Volcano so we watched the first episode of Down to Earth with Zac Efron on Iceland and how the country explores different ways to live a healthy and more sustainable lifestyle.

Mali also joined an online session to learn more about Marine Biology and the affect of underwater Volcanoes have on our environments.


For Health, we continue to learn more about Nutritional facts, so Mali completed a food label scavenger hunt on some of her favorites we have around the house 😂



Mal has been wanting to learn Japanese language due to her love of Anime, so this week we started her introduction to Japanese language online which she is now keen to learn more over the next coming weeks.

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.
