Tectonic Plates

We created our own tectonic plates today. Ours were definitely tastier than the earth's. We looked at how the plates move against each other. We learned the words divergent, convergent and transform.

               

                           

Digi tech

Over the year we have been lucky enough to have Rachel from Core Ed come in and work with us. Here is a selection of photos showing how engaged we are when we are working with digital technology. Some of these activities were 'unplugged'.

 

Year 4 Dictionaries

Today, the Year 4s have been presented with their very own dictionary. The dictionaries are colourful and we will definitely treasure them. 

Beginning of the year activities.

It has been a busy start to the year in Room 8.
But before we talk about some of our activities, we need to introduce ourselves...

We are a busy class of 27 Year 3 and 4 children. We are lucky enough to have 2 teachers. Mrs. Buschl works for 4 days and Mrs. Lord works on Thursdays.
We love sharing our learning and will show you some of what we learn on this Blog.

Over the last few weeks, we have been looking after Monarch butterflies. we have been fascinated watching them grow from eggs through to the beautiful butterflies. We learnt that the transformation is called metamorphosis.

                                We were excited to see if it was male or female.

                                

                                It was both sad and exciting when we set them free.
