Year 4 Term 1, Week 8

 Week 8 - This is our first Inner West Homeschool group excursion this year and it was an amazing day out for everyone. We went to Jurassic World by Brickman exhibition at the Australian Museum. It was a two hours session of free play and interactive exploration, followed by a picnic at Hyde Park with everyone.








It was quit amazing to see how kids of all ages interact with each others and learn to socialise in the environment where they are not defined by their ages or year group. They were all there to learn and have fun in their own ways.

We continue to read Chapter 16 & 17 of Charlotte's Web, we are almost finishing the book. Both Mali and I agreed that we will only watch the movie after we have read the entire book.


A few pics from her snack break (opportunity to read at the same time! 🤣)


Mali has shown a lot of interest in learning how to draw Manga lately. She was determined to self taught by practicing rather than attending a formal drawing class. I admire her perseverance. She often search online for anime character that she likes and simply practice drawing on her own.

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 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...
