The Year 4 students of 4/5H are also beginning a WebQuest, just like Year 5. However, their WebQuest will be related to the Science & Technology unit that they are currently completing, Living World. In this unit they will learn about ways that scientists classify certain plants and animals, as well as the life cycle of some plants and animals. It should be a lot of fun. The Year 4 WebQuest can also be found in the Shared Resources section, just above the Year 5 WebQuest.
Year 5 students are beginning an Author Study WebQuest this week in English. They will be studying the techniques that an author uses to convey a story with the goal of creating their own story in a similar style. The author study that they will complete can be found on this web site in the Shared Resources section.
We are learning how to summarise information from a variety of texts. We are learning how to identify key words within a text.
In 4/5H, we have been building up our digital portfolios. We are quickly learning how to use G Suite to create aspects of our portfolio and how to link various projects that we have created such as our Incredibox musical creations. It is a lot of fun learning how to use technology to present our work.
Year 4 students are developing their understanding of persuasive texts. We have viewed a number of advertisements and discussed techniques that have been used to try to convince the audience to purchase a particular product. We are working towards developing our own advertisement to promote a product.
Year 5 students have begun looking at the styles of particular authors. We are working to identify how particular authors create their books and how they differ to other authors. So far we have identified aspects such as rhyming words, repetition, use of illustrations, descriptive language and moving from the real world into a fantasy world. It is 4/5H's turn to create a presentation for the Stage 2 assembly this fortnight. We are working on a video presentation to be played during the assembly. We're hoping that everyone enjoys what we create. Watch the presentation: Year 4 are looking at Living Things in Term 1. We will be investigating the difference between non-living and living things. We will also be identifying how we can classify various living things into categories such as, a six legged animal is an insect. We shall also be studying some life cycles of various animals.
Year 5 are studying Material World in Term 1. We will be exploring the various types of matter such as solids. liquids and gasses. The main task for Year 5 will be the Ice Cube Challenge. Students will need to invent a container to hold a piece of ice and keep it solid for as long as possible. |
