One highlight was the Find Four Ice-Breaker, where students moved around the room to discover classmates who matched each category. This activity encouraged conversation, curiosity and plenty of smiles as children learned new things about one another. Students also created an All About Me Shoe artwork, decorating a shoe outline with symbols, words and drawings that represent who they are. These artworks now brighten our learning space and celebrate the individuality each child brings to the group. Across all activities, the focus remained on nurturing a strong sense of belonging and forming meaningful relationships within their classroom community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kate Bakhos, Natalie Bejar, Merissa Perivolarellis and Edward Wang <\/strong><br>Year 4 Teachers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_6855.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"659\" height=\"879\" data-id=\"19568\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_6855.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_6855.jpg 659w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_6855-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_6855-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7023.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"956\" data-id=\"19569\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7023.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7023.jpg 716w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7023-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7023-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7039.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"19571\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7039-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7039-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7039-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7039-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/IMG_7039.jpg 977w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"938\" height=\"704\" data-id=\"19570\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed.jpg 938w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/02\/unnamed-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 4 students have commenced the school year by taking part in a series of\u00a0getting to know you\u00a0activities designed to help every child feel welcome, connected and confident as they settle into their new classroom community.
