Term 3 Learning

This term we have been engaged in a variety of learning activities.
In Science we are studying about the important inventions that have changed our lives. Room 8 recently had a visit to MOTAT which proved to be a positive learning experience. The students particulary enjoyed learning about the history of communication.

Writing
We have been working hard on our expositions so that we can persuade our audience! Check out some of our expositions below.

Better quality in Aeroplane food

I think there should be better aeroplane food.

People get tired by the time they get on the plane. For example people need healthy food on planes because sometimes you can be very plane sick so you need healthy food to keep you well enough to fly.

Some kids don’t like the food that’s on the menu. In fact there’s sometimes hot curry and chicken pie. Kids don’t like those kinds of food especially me. Instead you should be able to pick your own food insted of having the yuck food that’s on the menu. The things I would like to see is a nice fruit salad or nachos and a milk shack for the drink.

It seems to be that if you are at the back of the plane your food gets there last and by the time it gets to you its very cold. Who likes cold chicken pie or cold butter chicken? Not me! Look at Air NEW ZEALAND they are getting kitchens so you can make your own food and get whatever you want. How good is that?

All these examples show that there should be better quality in aeroplane food.

Why Year 4's Should Have a School Rugby Team

There is no doubt that year 4s should have a school rugby team.

You can learn new skills such as the sidestep because it helps you get past players to score a try.There is also the banana kick which makes the ball spring back at you. You`ll improve your skills so when you are older you will hopefully be the best in your team.

Also, kids will play outside instead of being stuck inside playing computer games. Plus, they will be healthier and fitter. Exercise is important so you can run far without losing your breath.

It keeps kids out of trouble so they don’t get into fights and wont get out of shape. When you play rugby you will become really strong and become a really good kicker, have areally cool expearence(hopefully).

So you see year 4s should have a school rugby team.

Term 2 Learning

Check out our beautiful "Bush Art"

We learned how to use the process of frottage to make a colourful, vibrant background for our tree sketch. First we visited Camp Sladdin to complete our tree rubbings with crayons and newsprint. We sketched leaves and trees in the bush. When we arrived back to the classroom we dyed our tree rubbings.
