This week we finished talking about observations by going on an observation walk towards the forest. We also learned about drawing scientific conclusions and the scientific method.

 

English

This week we had our second spelling test. Students wrote a story in their journal that incorporated at least 5 of their spelling words.We worked on our comprehension  of an information text with tables. We also worked on identifying adverbs and knowing the difference between an adverb and adjective.

 

Math

This week we were learning how to subtract money; solving word problems and checking answers using inverse operations; and bar graphs. By the end of the week, students took test from unit 1. The results were excellent! – Much better than I expected! I highly appreciate my 4thgrade students! Great job – and hope they will maintain the same throughout this year.

English

In English students learnt about narrative writing. They prepared drafts of the story and compared and contrasted characters. Later on they analized different types of sentences: statements, questions, commands and exclamatory questions.

Math

In math we worked on some complex word problems which combined addition and multiplication. We also did a little revision of place value. The students learnt to round to the nearest hundred. Finally we entered the topic of multiplication as a repeated addition.

Science

In science we talked about measuring matter, what different aspects of matter can we measure? What tools and units do we use for mass, length, temperature, volume and time? The students could play with and learnt to use magnifying glasses, microscopes and balance pans.

English: we have finished all the basic sounds! The girls are getting better and better at reading regular words. To help them retain what they’ve learnt, here are the links to the songs from group 6 and group 7.

Math: We were practicing additions and subtractions up to 15.

Science: The girls learnt what a ascientific investigation is – question, hypothesis, test and conclusion. Following those steps, we experimented with mixing different colors of paint.

Let’s not forget about our Monday trip to the cinema, where the kids watched a series of shorts during the Children’s Film Festival.

Have a great weekend! 🙂
