The fourth grade students have recently completed their second newsletter.<\/p>\n
What was in our old U.O.I.?<\/strong><\/p>\n We finished our U.O.I. by doing a presentation and writing a reflection on skills, attitudes and knowledge. We had to write about communication and presentations in skills. On knowledge we had to write about what we liked and something interesting thing we did on heroes. For example this is what Taif wrote: \u201cThe most interesting thing was that heroes can be strong but they don\u2019t have to be strong and celebrities are sometimes heroes too! Even authors can be heroes.\u201d In attitudes we had to write about how we were confident and enthusiastic and independent in our U.O.I. \u00a0Our presentations were very good. We did some on Wednesday and some on Tuesday and some on Saturday.\u00a0 Ms. Saunders gave us options for a reflection on our projects and we had to choose 3 of them and write what we felt about our presentation.<\/p>\n By Elise, Shamma, Marie and Taif<\/p>\n What’s Up with our second UOI?<\/strong><\/p>\n In our second U.O.I. we are working on Explorers. It is a Social Studies unit. We are learning to do our own maps.\u00a0 We are also learning about the symbols we can use to have a legend of a map. Stay tuned for more information of Explorers.<\/p>\n By: Nathalie, Simon and Etienne<\/p>\n What\u2019s up in language?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In language, we were writing Narratives during our first UOI.\u00a0 Narratives have a problem that needs to be resolved.\u00a0 Every morning we practiced writing to help make Narrative writing easier.\u00a0 Our Narratives were in the Tall Tale style.\u00a0 The Narratives are published and in our classroom library for people to read.<\/p>\n by Taif<\/p>\n What’s Up in Math? In maths we are learning about the two digit multiplication equations, for <\/em>example 86 x 30=2,666.\u00a0 <\/em>Ms Liezel taught us lots of things like word sums. All of us have been working hard to figure out the answers. Everyone in our class loves maths. Ms Liezel makes maths very fun for all of us. There are lots to learn. We feel the sums can be easy, hard and in between. Mostly it is in between easy and hard. Maths is very popular in our class. Most of the kids in our class love maths. We are just finishing our unit by doing three digits and that is easy when you see how it is done. Our next unit in maths is going doing number stories we will do it with multiplication. It is good to get your maths finished because then you have no homework.<\/p>\n By Isabella, Kalea and Etienne<\/p>\n What’s Up in PE?<\/strong><\/p>\n In P.E we are learning soccer. We are trying to work as a team so we don\u2019t always have to argue. We first worked on passing each other the ball. We sometimes play skill games to help us improve in soccer. The game we liked the most was when we all had a ball and we had to kick everyone\u2019s ball and the last person standing won. The most frustrating thing for me was when we always argue about who scored who and all that. If your thinking that we always do stuff in P.E outdoors you would be wrong we also do swimming! In swimming we work on all sorts of strokes for example: back stroke, Brest stroke, back stroke and Butterfly! Butterfly is the hardest stroke. Some people in our class do early morning swimming. In early morning swimming we get better at doing the strokes we have trouble with. Like me I have trouble in Butterfly. Our swimming lessons will be over soon because the water is getting colder and colder we had to get out the pool on one lesson of swimming. For more information on P.E stay tuned on what\u2019s up in P.E<\/p>\n by Abdul and Simon<\/p>\n What\u2019s up in I.C.T.?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In I.C.T we have been making graphs and movies. We were making graphs because we did a hero survey and we wanted to organize our information. We started on Microsoft excel and then onto a website that teaches kids how to make a graph. We are making movies on Windows movie maker so we can learn the skills involved and hopefully end up making our own movies. We are making the movies out of pictures and some of us have videos that we can put on. We are making it because it is going to be a movie about what we did in the Heroes unit.
