Hello Grade 4 Families,
This week has been a very productive week indeed.
Grade 4 students worked solidly on their inquiry, investigating energy sources and identifying the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy. The group did a great job at demonstrating their learning of these terms by creating some interesting and informative posters. Some students wrote short paragraphs about different types of renewable and non-renewable energy, whilst others opted for more visual platforms, utilizing Microsoft Paint, PowerPoint and Word. I have included photos of the students working on these pieces as well as images taken during the experiments that they conducted last week. As a reflective activity to the experiments, students selected their favourite experiment and wrote about it in the form of a lab report.
During language time, students continued to work on their book reports. This year, the students have learned about different types of reports. They produced a research report during the "Who We Are" unit of inquiry and have now undertaken scientific report writing. Throughout the current "How The World Works" unit, students will investigate yet another form of report writing/presentation. We will explore newspaper reports and news report programs and use these as the stimulus for the summative assessment piece.
Throughout mathematics this week the group has began investigating triangles. We classified different kinds of triangles and students were very eager to point out their similarities and differences. Students then went on to create "Polygon Riddles" for their classmates, using distinctive features of polygons as clues.
That is all for this week.
Have a wonderful weekend!
