For our social studies unit on games we have been comparing and contrasting different games. This slideshow shows us playing Red Light, Green Light which was heaps of fun! Some of the skills you need are speed, patience, and balance.... leave a comment if you can think of some other skills you need to play Red Light, Green Light.

Long Vowel Sounds

Today we brainstormed rhyming words from our poem. We talked about vowel digraphs - two vowels together that make one sound. Have a look at this Between the Lions video... I bet the song will get stuck in your heads!

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.
