The Last Assembly






Last week Grade 4 class performed its last assembly. The students presented all units of inquiry that they have learnt. The students worked in groups to create their own dialogues and presentations independently.  It was a good collaborative work among students and teachers! Great job, class!

Grade 4 class would also like to thank Mr. Aryo, the music teacher who has put lots of work to make Grade 4 assemblies great.

Last week on Friday, 15 May, Grade 4 students performed a traditional dance from Philippines called Tinikling during the International Family Day Celebration at school. This dance is a traditional dance which involves two or more people hitting bamboo poles, using them to tap, beat,or  slide on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dances who step over and in between the poles in a dance.  

Some students performed the traditional dance, while other students performed as jumpers and modern Tinikling dancers.

Tessellations








The connections between mathematics and art are very strong and frequent. Grade 4 has been learning  tessellation that  is integrated with our new unit of inquiry on The Language of The Arts. 
Students have learnt that there are 3 basic attributes of tessellation : 

First, they are repeated patterns.

Second, tessellations do not have gaps or overlaps.

Third, tessellations can continue on a plane forever. 


There were some activities that  students did during this lesson. They had some hands on activities to find out  what shapes will tesselate. Students also used a tessellation website  to create their tessellation pattern and kidspiration program  before they made it into a piece of square paper. 

Here are some activities that Grade 4 class did during this geometry lesson.
