Hello Grade 4 Families,
1 Sleep til Undokai!!!!
Everyone is so excited for the big day and I'm sure the whole JIES/Jingumae Shogako community will enjoy viewing and participating in the day's events.
Grade 4 has worked so hard to prepare for the day and also showed fantastic cooperation and communication with their Jingumae friends.
I look forward to seeing you all there!
In other news,
Grade 4 have been investigating new digital media for our unit of inquiry. The group watched a documentary about the future of digital communications and assessed the positive and negative aspects of relying on digital platforms for communication purposes. Each student then picked an area they want to explore further. Some chose to investigate the use of smartphones, some are looking into virtual reality and some decided to look more specifically at different social media applications and sites.
We created a class Twitter account and have so far connected to the Uniters (grade 5/6) and the JIES account. The group are enjoying navigating their way around the site and it is a great investigation into our second line of inquiry- how digital media works.
We have begun a mandala project, incorporating art and maths into the construction of individual pieces. I look forward to seeing the finished products.
Until next week (or hopefully tomorrow),
- Miss Raciti
