Y4 Trip to MOTAT!

Last week, Room 20 went on a trip to MOTAT. This was to help consolidate our learning from our inquiry topic this term 'Curiosity Can Lead to Innovation'. We have been researching a variety of inventions, and looking at the pros and cons of these. We have learnt that we live in a world of constant change and we have to learn to be open to it, connect with it and sometimes question it.

At MOTAT, we got to see a range of inventions and innovations from New Zealand and around the world, and how much things have change over time. Have a look at some photos from our trip...

Surf to School

On Tuesday, Room 20 and Room 21 participated in the Surf to School programme. This was an hour Beach Education session that was run by surf lifeguards who taught us surf safety. We learned how to be both water and sun safe at the beach, and we also learned the role of a surf lifeguard!

Scooter Skills

As part of the Travelwise Programme, Constable Gordon took us for a Scooter Skills course yesterday. The aim of this course was to promote health and physical wellbeing through movement and skill. We learned how to ride our scooters safely, how to identify hazards and how to react safely when travelling by scooter.

Gingerbread Men

Yesterday, Ms McCabe organised for us to bake gingerbread men. How lucky are we?! We learned how to follow a recipe, which is an instructional piece of writing. Check out our photos of our exciting day below...

Reading

We have been learning to identify and summarise the main events in the books we have read. We have completed a 'Filmstrip Summary' which are in the photos below, to help us with this. In each box, we have drawn a picture for each main event from our favourite books...

Cross Country

Today VAS held their annual cross country day at Martyn Wilson Field. I want to say a huge congratulations to all Room 20 students who participated in cross country. Everyone tried their hardest and pushed themselves right to the end of the race. 

A special mention to Henry who placed first and Richie who placed second in the Year 4 boys race. Room 20 is very proud of you both, what an achievement!!
