2021 is going to be a great year!

Already we have been so busy with making our own class rules as well as coming up with rewards and consequences that match these rules. In Religious Education, God’s Ten Commandments are similar to our classroom rules. If we follow them, we will all be safe, happy and life-long learners.

Did you know that Jesus also gave us a commandment? “Love others as I have loved you.”

In 4A, we are “Bucket Fillers!” A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things for other people.

Did you know that when we are filling other people's buckets, we are filling our own bucket at the same time.

We have been reading the book, “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,” by Judy Blume, which is so funny. Lots of us have already made lots of connections with this story.

Did you know that 3 year old little brothers can be really annoying when you’re in Fourth Grade?

We are really enjoying learning about Australia’s Aboriginal History and how country, language, art, dreaming stories, ceremonies and dance are all important parts of Aboriginal culture.

Did you know that there used to be over 600 different language groups across Australia and now there are only about 250 language groups left?

In Science we are talking about “Energy.” We found out that we already know quite a bit, but we have also listed some things we would like to find out about different types of energy and where it comes from.

Did you know that when we slide down a slippery dip, that we are using gravitational energy?

We love having different teachers for Music, Drama and Physical Education, just like high school. Our teacher, Miss Wright already thinks we are the best class and that we are great role models for other students.

It’s hard to believe we have done so much already and it’s only Week 4. We are looking forward to lots of new learning and fun experiences in Year 4 this year! Stay tuned!
