Grade 4: Week 13

In inquiry, we have been learning about the tools and methods of navigation. On Monday, we went to the park and measured things in centimeters and meters using measuring tape and meter sticks. When we came back to school, we made maps of the park. On Friday we went to the park again and completed a scavenger hunt. We used maps and compasses to help us find cards that had letters on them to break the secret code. 

We are so happy about our makeover of our Grade 4 classroom! We built shelves and used them to organize our classroom library. Our new rug, cushions and bins are also part of our new reading area. It took a long time to build everything, but we had fun doing it. It was the best time ever!

For our celebration of learning, we took the song Old Town Road and rewrote the lyrics to be about explorers. We made props, costumes, and even a dance. We think our families and the school are going to be very proud of us! In music, we have been practicing Happy and Totoro with grades 5 and 6 for the celebration of learning as well. Next Monday we will be rehearsing for the performance at the venue all day.
