ROOM 4 2011

2011-02-26T19:38:00.000-08:00

Welcome to room 4 2011.
We are an energetic class of year 4s lead by Miss Paterson!

So far this year we have improved our swimming skills over in the school pool.
Learnt how our behaviour can effect our learning. We have looked at creating new "bush tracks" so that we can learn better.
At the moment in reading we are learning how to ask questions as we read. This is important as it gives us purpose for reading and helps us to understand what we are reading.
In maths we have looked at some number knowledge and currently we are learning some addition and subtraction strategies. Such as counting on or back in sets of 10, using our doubles knowledge and counting forwards and backwards in ones in our heads.
Currently in writing we are looking at how to write a procedure.

Stay tuned for future updates and photos!

Showing PRIDE

2010-07-25T13:33:00.000-07:00

Last term we had the health nurse visit room 4. She talked about the importance of showing PRIDE in ourselves . This means wearing the correct school uniform in a tidy manner. If for some reason your child is unable to wear the correct uniform please send a note. This note is taken to the school office where a uniform pass will be issued. Some of us like to get muddy during playtimes. If you child likes to play rough and tumble games at lunchtime please send along some old clothes for them to change into.

Volcano in the Sandpit

The Adventures of Peggy and Elephant

2010-06-21T14:28:00.001-07:00

Peggy and Elephant were surfing until a handle fell down and hit Peggy on the shoulder. Peggy grabbed it. He went up, up, up until he crawled up. Then the handle went back down and hit Elephant on the shoulder. Elephant grabbed it. He up, up, up until he crawled up. Later they got off the plane. Then they got into a limo. An hour later they got off the limo at the beach. They dug and dug. They found a marrow it was 20 feet tall and 10 classrooms long. They were so happy.

The Adventures of Peggy and Elephant

2010-06-21T14:27:00.001-07:00

Once upon a time there was one dog named Kite and two pigs named Peggy and Elephant. One day they found a limo it had automatic drive. Peggy, elephant and Kite rode it. They came to a traffic jam they started to fly. They parachuted down with surfboards in case they landed in the sea. They were all right. They surfed to a rocket. They jumped in and blasted off into space. It took them one day to get to get into space. They went into the sun. It was fill of dog biscuits and marrows.

Life Education Bus

2010-05-09T14:40:00.001-07:00

Life Education Bus… is coming to DPS. The bus will be here in Weeks 5 and 6 this

term. Each child attends 2 lessons and the focus is 'Food and Nutrition'. There is a small cost of $4 per child (this works out to be only $2 per lesson!) and if you start preparing now, it's only $1 a week per child to save - what a bargain! Please send payment in a named envelope to your child's teacher by Friday 14th May.

Uniform

2010-05-09T14:39:00.000-07:00

If for some reason your child is unable to come to school in the correct uniform they will need a note with a reason which is to be taken to the school office before school for a uniform pass to be issued. Children can change at lunchtimes and during P.E in to their sports uniform, this is a good idea if your child likes a bit of rough and tumble.
