What an Amazing Year!
2020 has been a year like no other and I am really proud of every student in 4B for their commitment to their learning throughout this year. We have had lots of laughs, made some mistakes, learnt from them and enjoyed getting to know each other. We have learnt so much this year despite all the challenges we have faced and each and every student has contributed in their own special way. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and look forward to seeing everyone again in 2021.
Literacy
We were so excited to write to Mr Pitt to try to convince him to let the school have some pet chickens. We wrote our persuasive arguments, made a video of our arguments and sent it to Mr Pitt for careful consideration. After further investigation, we were successful in convincing Mr Pitt and we welcomed 5 juvenile chickens to our school. We have also enjoyed writing our very own Dreamtime Story as well as writing a speech about kindness and compassion.
STEM
During Term 4, 4B attended a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) workshop each week. We use Sphero's and iPads and learnt how to code and move our Sphero's. During these lessons, students were required to problem solve, work together, follow instructions and think critically.
Science Incursion
4B really loved attending the Science Incursion "Under the Sea". We were fascinated with touching and holding living sea animals, such as starfish and sea cucumbers, and listening to the sounds the seashells made when we held them up to our ear.
