YEAR 4 Year 4 Discovery Units

CREATING OUR COMMUNITY – LEARNING TO LEARN

How will we create our class community? How can we ensure everyone feels welcome, included and safe? What does community mean to us? What do you think has an impact on your learning? What process will you go through to make the best use of it?

In this unit, the students work together to decide what community means to them and how their classroom will represent this. They then explore how their attitude can affect their learning. As they continue to build on their previous learning about growth-mindset thinking, they set goals for their learning over the coming year and further explore the importance of learning from mistakes.

BODY & MIND

Have you ever wondered how your body works? What do the different organs in your body do? How do they work together?

In this unit, the students explore and find out how their different body systems interconnect as well as how those systems work and the functions they perform. Through their inquiry, they also discover how to maintain a healthy balance between body and mind and how the choices they make can affect their health.
