Our central idea is Energy is renewable and non-renewable. Our lines of inquiry are forms of energy, sources of energy and harnessing energy. We are using these concepts: responsibility, causation and change. The Learner Profile Attributes we are using during Energy are caring and principled. We hope to use these attitudes: commitment, respect and curiosity. Energy is a Science Unit so we will be doing lots of experiments!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"RTL\" align=\"center\">By: Simon kassem<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s Up with Passion Projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All the students in grade 4 have to do a passion project on one of the units of inquiry this year.<\/p>\n<p>We have been collecting information from books, internet and presenting what we found. We have listened to 4 people that chose exploration for their passion project those people were: Simon, Taif, Jackson and Etienne. Most of them tried to echo the central idea of exploration and it was: exploration impacts upon societies. The attitudes of exploration were: respect, appreciation and empathy. The concepts were: change, perspective and causation.<\/p>\n<p>By Kalea and Simon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\"><strong>What&#8217;s Up in Language?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">By: Elise, Etienne and Shamma<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The Debate<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We had a debate on the 30<sup>th<\/sup> of November. Parents were invited to watch us argue, and should have chosen sides, and none of them chose because \u00a0they said it was because \u201cWe were all too convincing.\u201d We had to argue whether exploration was great, or really bad. Some of us would have liked to choose our own sides, but to make it fair, Mrs. Saunders pulled our names out of a hat. \u201c I would have liked to pick my own buddies, but it was fair.\u201d Kalea said. \u201cPicking my own people would have been fun, but our name out of a hat was definitely fair.\u201d declared Taif. We all had to argue our sides, and we had about a week or so to prepare. My team, Taif, Kalea, Etienne and I were very worried we wouldn\u2019t win, but neither of our teams won, so we were a bit glad, and a bit sad that we didn\u2019t win. In the end, we all agreed that exploration was a tool, and what we do with the tool is either good or bad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<strong>Recounts and Expositions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Ms. Saunders gave us a recount plan for us to write our facts in. Even though we were partners we weren\u2019t allowed to copy each other. We could say the same thing we had talked about, but in our own words. A recount has a setting, the events in order and a conclusion. We also learned how to write an exposition, where you argue a point of view. An exposition starts with a state of a problem and a point of view, facts and evidence come later. Then we have to write a conclusion. It was much harder to write this than a narrative.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\"><strong>Maths with Ms. Liezel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0In Maths with Mrs. Liezel, we learned to do division and we did long division. Hannah found 1 easy way to do division. Mrs. Liezel lets us play lots of games and sometimes we get to play Maths games on the computer. Some things we like to play are times attack, math blaster, Maths games for kids and many more!
