From Waiben Year 4, Mrs. Renate Bates

What a busy and exciting Term 3 it has been in Year 4!

As part of our History studies, we took a fascinating excursion to Green Hill Fort where we explored what life was like for people in Australia’s past. The students enjoyed stepping back in time, hearing stories, and seeing first-hand how history has shaped our local area.

We also celebrated Children’s Day with a wonderful morning in Anzac Park. The day was full of colour and laughter with face painting, delicious food, and fun activities that brought our whole school community together.

For Father’s Day, our class got creative making crafts and then used our persuasive writing skills to compose heartfelt letters to our dads, explaining why they are the best. The students wrote with such enthusiasm and pride—it was a beautiful way to put our learning into practice while celebrating the special role fathers play in our lives.

Another highlight this term was our visit to Star of the Sea Nursing Home. The children sang songs, played games, and shared smiles with the residents. It was a heart-warming experience that reminded us of the joy that comes from connecting across generations.

As we wrap up Term 3, we are proud of all the learning, creativity, and kindness shown in Year 4. We look forward to another term filled with new adventures and opportunities to grow together.
