Grade 4 Year 2009/2010

Hi all,

Here are the new students at our Grade 4 class Year 2009/2010. We would like to continue sharing our learning experiences through this blog. Hope you enjoy and benefit from visiting our class blog. 

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. 

Grade 4 Picture Books

Grade 4 students have successfully written and published their picture books. Now it's time to share ! Please come and visit our class on June 9, 2009 at 10am- 12pm  during Grade 4 Class Award Party. 

International Family Day

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. 

Biomes

Grade 4 Students - please complete the two tasks on the Biome WebQuest page.   When this is done, check with the teacher and then link to this  website  and continue on these tasks. You will need to work with a partner on this unit of inquiry webquest.

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. 

Earth Day

Today, April 22, is a day that designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment . To celebrate this special day, our school is holding some programs such as making compost, planting trees, recycling and other programs. 

Grade 4 students joined the planting programs and some grade 4 students who joined the GIN (Global Issues Network) ASA joined the recycling program that will be applied to the whole school community. Here are some photos taken during the program today.
