Hello parents<\/p>\n
We have had a majorly \u00a0busy week this week! \u00a0Grade 4 students were asked to summarise the events that were important to them over the last few days. \u00a0Here are their thoughts:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My best memories of Seussical<\/p>\n
By Claire<\/p>\n
My good memories are, when I saw my costume for the first time. \u00a0When I found out I was a Bird Girl, I was upset because I thought I wouldn’t be doing very much, but then when I read the original copy, I saw I was doing a lot of singing. \u00a0My favourite memory is when the light popped during a rehearsal and it was raining glass. \u00a0<\/p>\n
In the Seussical, we learned these Learner Profile Attributes: Risk Takers, when we learned new songs that we never heard of before, Communicators, when we were talking about the Seussical, Caring, when we thought about others and didn’t talk when we weren’t supposed to talk, and Knowledgeable – we were Knowledgeable when we had to remember our lines.<\/p>\n
The Musical<\/p>\n
by Trina<\/p>\n
The best memories of the musical is the first time I had a lot of lines to say. \u00a0In the beginning I was so nervous but when I practiced and practiced then suddenly I knew all my lines. \u00a0The funny things that happened were when the show was starting, sometimes the music got loud and the microphone fell down. \u00a0We had a great time in the Seussical with Ms. Saunders and Mrs. Akerstrom. \u00a0Remember, “A person’s a person no matter how small.”<\/p>\n
My Passion Project<\/p>\n
By Spencer<\/p>\n
This morning I did my Passion Project on Energy. \u00a0This is how I presented it. \u00a0First I had an introduction because we are only on the unit “Exploration.” \u00a0Then I had a quiz. \u00a0There were two rows of six. \u00a0I had to read the quiz and the people at the front had to answer the question. \u00a0The person who answered it correctly scored a point for their team. \u00a0When my cards were finished I would see who had more points would win and get to do the experiment which was basically a self made battery. \u00a0Then everyone clapped and gave me a comment. \u00a0Then I went to class and started typing about my Passion Project. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Swimming at TAISM<\/p>\n
By Abhishek<\/p>\n
When we reached there, I saw Courtney, Alla and Sachin coming out saying they had a huge movie theatre, a big football field, a long basketball court and three swimming pools. One was for small children. \u00a0It was just 0.15 metres deeps. \u00a0The second one was only 1.95 metres deep and 25 metres long. \u00a0The third was for the big kids. \u00a0It was 50 metres long and 2 and 1\/2 metres deep. \u00a0There were 2 pages of events in the competition. \u00a0I had more than five races. \u00a0I was in a relay. \u00a0I had to do butterfly first, then 25 metres of freestyle, and I wasted all my energy with it and I raced the 10 year old kids and came second place. \u00a0At all the other races I was 3rd or 2nd. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Tidy Numbers\u00a0<\/p>\n
By Tahlyn<\/p>\n
This week we have been learning about Tidy Numbers. \u00a0Tidy numbers are numbers in a number sentence that are rounded to the closest 1, 10 or 100. \u00a0For example, 125+384, you round 124 to 100 and add 24 to 384 which makes it easier to do instead of adding 124 and 384. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Seussical\u00a0<\/p>\n
By Newton<\/p>\n
It was the day of the Seussical. \u00a0When we were waiting, Ms Marie signaled us and when the music started, Marie the Cat in the Hat had a hat and had to bring it to the box. \u00a0Trina was Jojo and started speaking. \u00a0We sang “Oh the Things you can Think,” “Chasing the Who’s,” “Solla Sollew,” “The Who’s Return,” “Oh the Things you can Think Finale,” and “Green Eggs and Ham.” \u00a0It was fun! \u00a0SEUSS!!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Persuasive Texts<\/p>\n
By Oleg and Michael<\/p>\n
A persuasive text is an argument about your opinion or your point of view. \u00a0It is about real live facts.<\/p>\n
When you write a persuasive text, you start with a point of view. \u00a0Then you write three or more paragraphs of reasons, but you need to have evidence. \u00a0Then we have a conclusion. \u00a0It’s like a summary. You can include an extra reason to give people something to think about. \u00a0<\/p>\n
We wrote a persuasive text on exploration. \u00a0We had to choose if exploration was good or not. \u00a0But remember, these are opinions.<\/p>\n
The Musical<\/p>\n
By Jade<\/p>\n
Last night it was the Seussical. \u00a0We all had so much fun. \u00a0I was really scared because I thought something would go wrong, but nothing did so I got happy again. \u00a0It was so much fun when we were changing and putting our makeup on. \u00a0My mum and dad were so proud of me and I was too. \u00a0My, my mum and my little brother went with Tamika’s mum because my dad came a bit late, but he came on time. \u00a0When I got home I was really tired.<\/p>\n
What is a Tidy Number?<\/p>\n
By Prishanthi<\/p>\n
A tidy number means rounding a number to the nearest whole or a number with a five or a zero at the end, for example 50, 100, 85. \u00a0Tidy numbers can be added and subtracted. \u00a0When you add, you have to add on one side and minus on the other. \u00a0When you subtract you either plus on both or minus on both, you have to use your mind for subtraction a little to choose plus or minus. \u00a0Our class has been learning about it and the whole class loves it, they know the concept. \u00a0It is real fun and easy to do.<\/p>\n
Seussical<\/p>\n
By Deema<\/p>\n
At 5.30 we started dressing up and we got make up. \u00a0And at 6.30 we started the Seussical. \u00a0I like in the end of the Seussical the songs “Oh the Things you can Think” and “Green Eggs and Ham” and “Here on Who.” \u00a0Everybody did a good job and also I liked the costume. \u00a0I was happy at the end because I did a good job.<\/p>\n
My Passion Project<\/p>\n
By Sanna<\/p>\n
Today I did my Passion Project. \u00a0My Passion Project was about Exploration. \u00a0I chose to explore the topic skiing because this is something I am passionate about. \u00a0First I talked about what I was going to do then I showed all a movie I had made. \u00a0<\/p>\n
After my Passion Project, the other students gave me some questions and comments. \u00a0They said they really liked it because they didn’t know so much about skiing. \u00a0I think I did really well. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The Swimming at TAISM\u00a0<\/p>\n
By Alla<\/p>\n
When it reached 12.15 on Monday the 10th of December, we went to TAISM. \u00a0Courtney and I were the first ones to reach TAISM. \u00a0Before Abhishek came we saw there the theatre. \u00a0Afterwards, Abhishek came. \u00a0When everyone reached, we had a little rest and then we started the gala. \u00a0The first race was me and Tamika. \u00a0Tamika came second and I came third because one of the TAISM girls came first. \u00a0The girl that came first was really fast and actually most of the TAISM students are fast at swimming. \u00a0When we finished the gala, we went for dinner at Muscat City Centre. \u00a0When we reached Muscat City Centre, I saw all the students in my school that came for the gala. Once everyone was finished at dinner, we went back home. \u00a0I reached home at 11.00pm. \u00a0It was fun at TAISM!<\/p>\n
