As we draw close to the end of our school year we have had to return to home based learning. Grade 4 have shown their growth mindsets and resilience as we have faced the challenges of being online from home. Over the past few weeks we have ended every day with a chance to share. We have shared our work, our pets and even played instruments for one other to enjoy! It has been a wonderful opportunity to stay connected and even learn more about one another. Below is a short clip of one afternoon of sharing.

Unit of Inquiry--How The World Works
This week we have been focusing on our first line of inquiry- The structure and arrangement of our solar system and universe. We researched our solar system and shared interesting facts with one another as we created posters to represent the arrangement of the solar system. In particular we made connections this week, having Earth day and how we can protect the planet we live on. Central Idea: The earth is part of a vast universe much of which is still unknown. Lines of Inquiry: -The structure and arrangement of our solar system and universe. -How human curiosity has led to the important contribution to the advancement of science. Key Concepts: Form, Function, Causation Approaches to Learning: Research Skills, Thinking Skills SDG: 13 Climate Action Learner Profile focus: Inquirer, Knowledgeable This week we celebrated STEAM week with a range of activities. We joined Grade 11 for a science lesson and made DNA models. We created inventions and innovations of our own using bottle caps and we ended the week with a guest speaker who joined us via ZOOM. Prashant Ashoka shared his journey as a Singaporean and his innovation on his journey to make what he has dreamed of a reality. Please enjoy some photos below. During Literacy Week there were many celebrations including a visit from Roger Jenkins a Singaporean Storyteller. The Grade 5’s had their very own 'The Amazing Race' and of course the book character parade on Friday. The activity that we liked the most for us was when the storyteller came . We made hats showing parts of our favourite book for 'Hats off to Reading' and we did DEAR (Drop Everything And Read ) we read for 15 minutes straight. Lastly we were the WINNERS of the decorate your door contest with our Pokemon illustrations and poems! So we had a very good time this week and we hope you had a great week too!
