Sometimes We are the Same

Today we started talking about the times when we are the same as others. For example, when we wear our school uniforms.

Co-operation!

Our virtue focus for the next fortnight is co-operation. Co-operation is the 'C' in RICE and is really important for our success as a class team. This video is an old link from Sesame Street and has a really cool message for us. What do you think the message is?

Sporting Fun

Today we were lucky to have a session with Jeremy from Kelly Sports. The children participated in a range of large and small ball games. It was heaps of fun!

Welcome to Year 4!

Hello children and families

Welcome to Room 9 and Year 4.

What an awesome first day we have had starting to get to know each other. Our 'big' topic for the first two terms of the year is forces. We are starting with social forces and a focus on differences and similarities between people.

Do you think being different is special? Why? Are there times when it's important that we're the same as others? Please leave a comment sharing your thoughts.
