Another week passes us by...

Some new pieces of work from 4D…..

Some highlights of the past week have been the Hat competition which saw Joshua and Kathryn take out the honours. The anti-bullying week went off without a hitch, a great morning on the computers, reading groups are underway and some interesting artwork. Not to mention that some took off with cross country training (very wet and muddy affair), Art club began splashing with the seahorses. We look forward to all the other activities beginning in the next week or so.

Some of the students have taken to being class journalists. Here is a snippet of their first thoughts and ideas from our studies this week.

This week year four went swimming. The bus took us to and from the pool. When year 4 got to the pool we put all our stuff down and went in to swim. We were split into two groups, the dolphins and the stingrays. When we had finished swimming we caught the bus and went back to school.

This week year four D discussed anti bullying week it means no physical reactions [no punching or kicking.] We all hope it goes well.

We are hopeful that more students will become writers for the class newsletter and that we may be able to publish a more exciting newsletter as the year progresses.

Week 3

Week 3 came and went with a blur.... my oh my, how the term is flying!

This week we spent time writing to a penpal in our journals. We commented on something that has happened at school so far and also on the natural disasters that have hit Australia in the past few weeks. We should have a postcard back from our penpal in our journal this week.

We also looked at measuring temperature and we will be graphing our findings this week.

We are continuing a look into all the cultures in our class through mapping them this week. Should be interesting since we truly are a multicultural class.

Our Profile Strips look fantastic hanging in the room.

We started Maths groups, although Mrs D. was away so we will have to show her how wonderful we are next time!

Just a few reminders for the week... Swimming Carnival is on Wednesday! We hope you can come watch some of our races. See you there!

Swimming Begins

If we are not swimming across the oval beforehand, swimming commences this week. Keep posted for some pics as the kids take a dive into the pool.

I Am

We have been sharing some of our ideas and thoughts through our I AM Poems. We have also been busy typing our work to share with everyone.

Let us show you some of our work.

Welcome to 4D

Welcome to the new school year.

The children and I have been busy getting to know each other and getting stuck into work for 2009.

So far this year we have been wet, wet, wet! and I think we have managed two lunchtime plays. But I must say that all have been patient and taking advantage of alternative activities during the break times including computer games, building constructions with the zoobs and playing games.

I am thankful to all the parents that have approached me to offer assistance at varying times during the school week and look forward to working closely with you all in furthering your child's education.

Keep your eyes posted for more news from 4D's Virtual Window.

Thanks

Mrs D.
