Data's looking
good in 3-4LG!
St John Vianney's Catholic Primary School
English - Narratives
In English, students in 3/4LG have been sharing their narrative stories with the class. It has been so interesting hearing the creative ideas and funny storylines that students have come up with. They have also done an incredible job at including a range of skills that have improved their writing. For example, dialogue, time connectives, onomatopoeia, similes and metaphors.
Maths - Graphs
The students have been exploring Data in Maths. They have formulated questions, gathered information through surveys and have interpreted this data. They have then presented this data in a range of graphs. Pictured are some column graphs by students using hand drawn and digital methods.
Bike Ed
The students continue to enjoy their weekly Bike Ed sessions and are progressing well in their skill development. We have learned about bike safety checks, bike maintenance, responsibilities of cyclists when riding in different environments and respectful etiquette when riding. Though we all love to ride fast, we are also learning to “ride to the conditions”, which includes giving way to others, managing our speed and using our brakes to avoid “obstacles”. Navigating pathways through cones and following directions has also been included in our learning so far. We have several lessons left so we can’t wait to see the progress continue! Maybe bikes will be on the Christmas list this year for some students….!
Inquiry - Science Day
We enjoyed an exciting Science incursion with Mad About Science for our Solids, Liquids and Gases unit. Two visiting scientists led hands-on workshops that helped students build on their learning about States of Matter through fun and engaging experiments.
Students also had the opportunity to engage in some fun experiments with their teachers, making Oobleck and Balloon Fizzer. Students made predictions, observed changes and explored scientific concepts they had been studying. It was fantastic to see students working together, sharing their ideas and putting their science knowledge into practice.
