I hope you have had a great week!
Grade 4 has been busy taking action this week!
We started the week of really pleasantly, with a well deserved trip to Yoyogi park!
The group have been organizing a fundraising event for the victims of the Nepalese earthquake. They made a plan and worked really cooperatively to organize this initiative. See the images below for their work so far and the poster they intend to put up around the school.
We have also begun our new inquiry; New digital media changes the way in which people access information and connect to each other. First, we investigated forms of communication and the ways in which communication has changed over time. We considered how many times we digitally communicate in a day, versus how many times we communicate through non-digital means. Students are enthusiastic and curious about older communication technologies and were very amused when I showed them a photo of the first mobile phone!
We are going to focus primarily on new digital media, particularly social media and the way it impacts our lives (both positively and negatively).
Mathematics this week has involved some more work on division strategies as well as pattern making and collecting and displaying data. Students conducted surveys at the beginning of the week to help them with the fundraising initiative.
We spent language time recording our persuasive speeches and will be working on persuasive techniques a little more throughout the new unit of inquiry.
Undokai practice is still going really well and it is wonderful see the students become more confident in themselves and their bodies!
Until next week,
- Miss Raciti
