Science Fair celebration- Term 3

Our term ended with a wonderful celebration of science where the students were able to share their hard work with friends and family. The students in Year 4 have been busily working on a science fair investigation of their choice.
The students used the scientific method to conduct a scientific investigation, and they learnt about how to carry out a fair test.
We enjoyed a super shared afternoon tea. Thank you to the students for all their hard work and to the parents for their wonderful support of this occassion.

A celebration of our school

This week we had Open Night. We had a chance to visit the Year 5 and Year 6 classes to see what our future holds and we were also able to share our learning with others who visited our classroom.
The Open Night was a wonderful evening with many students from our class performing on the night.

The Olympic Games

We are going to discussing the rights and responsibilities of the athletes competing in the Olympic Games. We looked at the A.S.P.R.E acronym for the Australian Olympic team.
We discussed what each letter stood for and what an athlete would do to display these values or qualities.
This is some of our work.





Keep an eye on the clock to see how long to go before the Beijing Olympics begins.

Can we have rights without responsibility?

This is the main question that we are investigating in our Inquiry.
After asking many questions about what this could mean, we decided that we would all have to agree on what we meant by the word " responsibility ".
After lots of discussion, this is what we came up with.

Our busy week - Week 3

We had a busy week at school. Our mums and dads came to visit our teachers this week to discuss our progress during parent interviews.
In Literacy we are reading Myths and Legends and we are going to write our own Australian myth or porquoi story.
To launch our reading, we read many versions of Maui and the Sun and we watched a video of this as well. In art we used wax and dye to create our impressions of the anguish of the sun. We feel very proud of our work.
Take a look at the slide show of some of our completed paintings.

Maui vs the Sun

This week 4M also won the Environment Award for the second time in a row. The award is won by the class who keeps their area rubbish free. Well done 4M

Inquiry learning

Today we launched into our Inquiry for this term.Our big question is:
'Can we have rights without responsibility?'
Our teacher, Mrs M started off with some questions to get us thinking about rights and responsibilities and then we came up with lots of questions of our own. After that we used a graphic organiser to record our thinking on what we thought "Responsibility" was - what it looked like, sounded like and felt like.
Then we got together in pairs and we shared and discussed our ideas with a partner. After that two sets of pairs joined, and four of us worked together to on our graphic organisers, comparing out ideas and thinking and discussing this word and what it actually means.
