Week 49 has been another fun filled week of learning! We continued to investigate elements of cities through games, videos, hands on work and online city creating websites. Students appear to be thoroughly enjoying this inquiry and are getting excited for our city tour on the 16th of December. Last week students had an absolutely brilliant time creating their very own classroom city. In groups, (industrial, residential and commercial) students were able to use any resources they could get their hands on within the classroom to create elements of their groups area. They then had to explain to the other groups what they had included in their area and why.
In language, students are beginning to create their fantasy stories! They have worked very hard on finishing their fantasy booklets and we are now excited to read their finished products.
This week we have started a new math concept, learning about 'Shape and Space'. Students have started looking at elements of shapes and space in order to better understand the world around them.
Cross-Team has been a successful learning experience for all, creating, making, discussing and using ICT. This weeks photo is of one group creating well designed and tested paper planes.
We have many fantastic things happening in 4th grade so be sure to keep looking at ManageBac for updates and also check out the calendar on here. Just a quick reminder of upcoming events-Lucia, student classroom celebrations, the city trip and also the classroom Fika with parents on the last day of term.
We hope you have a lovely weekend and remember to stay warm,
Mike, Geoff and Cath
