Perfect PE in Year 4!

This week in PE, we had a carousel of activities:

• three-legged race
• ladder footwork
• bean sack race
• long jump
• under arm throwing
• relay racing
• sprinting

Year 4 demonstrated their reciprocity by getting themselves into groups 12. Teamwork was demonstrated when there was racing, and there was a perfect balance between competition and racing. Children cheered their team members on, and also encouraged their opponents too. 

"PE was so much fun. I loved working with friends that I normally don't in class." - Caden, Larch

"The three-legged race was difficult, but if you chant out together then it gets easier!" - Abdulmalik, Ash

"I wanted everyone to win today!" - Mia, Birch

 

Captivating Coordinates in Year 4!

 This week in Geography we have been learning about coordinates; how to read them, how to find them on a map, and what they're used for. 

We learnt that in order to find the coordinate (2, 3), the children need to count across the X-axis ('go along the corridor'), and then up the Y-axis ('up the stairs'). 

We looked at the school map, and travelled across the school to find certain locations. 

"Geography was so much fun; the treasure hunt with the coordinates was so exciting." - Louie, Ash

"You have to go along the corridors (the x axis) and up the stairs (the y axis)." - Lukas, Birch

"This is so much fun! It's so interesting seeing the school all mapped out." - Tavia, Larch

Year 3 - Abstract Portraits!

 This academic year so far has been quite 'chop and change' and our children have done a fantastic job and adapting and learning in these difficult times.

In our current Art unit, 'Portraits', the Year 3's have demonstrated how that which seems unusual and abstract can be a beautiful art piece.

The images below show a few examples of what can be interpreted as us now filling in the gaps of our lives that seemed absent. 

Ranging from the academic, social or even emotional facets of ourselves, we are closing those gaps and making a beautiful picture!

Well done Year 3! 

"I feel like a robot!" Mihai shares as he removes part of his picture away revealing a sketch beneath.

Cracking Computing in Year 3

Today Year 3 were treated to a Computing workshop with Hyett Education.

They learnt about algorithms and how to make and program their own robot! 

The children had to work together in pairs to create their robot and then program it.

"I am enjoying making the robot from scratch following the instructions" - Awwaltrip
