English is the Key Learning Area where students develop knowledge, skills and understandings about English language and literature. The students will be actively engaged in the development of skills through:

This term in English, Year 4 will be engaging in the following:

exploring ways authors organise their texts and carefully use language features and visuals to engage the reader for their desired purpose. The children will use these techniques to create their own written and digital imaginative texts and learn to utilise more sophisticated methods to communicate their ideas . 

There will be a focus on comprehension strategies during our reading episodes as we engage with a podcast text and learn to infer, question, make connections and critically analyse aspects of oral storytelling. 

Grammar, spelling and oral language skills will be focused on building rich and meaningful vocabulary which is both technically correct and creatively crafted. 

Children will have opportunities to work in a whole class, small group, individually and collaboratively throughout the term with additional support given at points of need.
