Our Treatment Agreement & Classroom Vision
Our Treatment Agreement & Classroom Vision
Embedded Files
We have been busy working together to decide what kind of classroom we want 4th Class to be!
As a class, we created our Classroom Vision. We decided that we want to learn, work hard, try our best and take pride in our work. We also agreed to treat others with kindness and respect and to work together as a team to achieve our vision. π
We then created our Treatment Agreement, thinking carefully about how pupils, teachers and visitors should treat one another in our classroom. Everyone contributed their ideas and signed their name to show their commitment to our agreement. βοΈ
These aren't just posters on our walls β they are promises we have made to one another and will help guide us throughout our year in 4th Class! πβ
Self - PortraitsΒ
Self - PortraitsΒ
4th Class have been getting creative making their very own paper collage self-portraits!
A collage is a piece of art made by cutting, arranging and sticking different pieces of material together. For our self-portraits, we used coloured paper and cut out different shapes to create our faces, hair, eyes, clothes and other features.
We looked carefully at what makes each of us unique and thought about how we could represent ourselves through art. βοΈπ¨
We love how every portrait turned out completely different β just like us! Our finished masterpieces are now proudly hanging in our classroom, adding lots of colour and personality to our space. πβ¨

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and is an important part of our new Primary Curriculum. Through STEM, we will develop skills like problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, communication and critical thinking.
To kick off our STEM learning, we took on the Spaghetti & Marshmallow Challenge! πποΈ Working in teams, we had to design and build the tallest free-standing tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows.
We planned, built, tested and improved our designs β learning that when something doesnβt work the first time, we can change our ideas and try again! π

4th Class have started exploring VEX GO Robotics!
We began with an introduction to engineering, learning the names of the different VEX GO parts and experimenting with how they connect, move and work together. We then put our engineering skills to the test by designing and building a Moon Buggy for our astronaut! ππ
Next, we will follow a step-by-step procedure to build a non-motorised supercar, developing our problem-solving, teamwork and engineering skills along the way! ποΈβοΈ

The Race to Space
The Race to Space
4th Class have been blasting off with our Race to Space unit, exploring space across lots of different subjects!Β
π In Literacy, we read about the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the USA and learned about Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. We also developed our recount writing skills, writing a recount of the Apollo 11 mission and an imaginative recount of our own mission to the Moon! π
π In Geography, we explored the NASA website, learned about the planets in our Solar System and created our own planet projects.
π©βπ In History, we discovered famous astronauts and explored important moments in the history of space exploration.
π¬ In Science, we learned about the Earthβs atmosphere, what it is and why it is so important for life on Earth.
π¨ In Art, we developed our drawing skills and created galaxy paintings, practising colour mixing, blending and adding texture.
It was a fantastic way to connect our learning across Literacy, Geography, History, Science and Art while discovering more about our amazing universe! ππβ¨
