Unpacking the Central Idea
Living things are impacted by changes that happen to ecosystems.
With a good understanding of biotic and abiotic components in an ecosystem, it was time for the Remarkable Rhinos to look at how living things interact with each other, and with their non-living environments.
We took time to understand what a habitat is and researched the main biomes found on our planet.
The Grade 4's then split themselves according to the biome they were most interested in and worked in pairs and groups to create a food chain/web that illustrates the flow of energy found in an ecosystem specific to the biome of choice.
In Mathematics we are developing the language of probability.
Thrilling Thursday
The entire school had fun dressing up for Halloween and going around to trick or treat.
Our class looked AMAZING in the outfits they had been discussing for weeks!
Even the Upper Primary teachers were in on the fun, after all... 'we're all mad here'
A special visitor came back from the UP Musical, it seems that he's grown since we last saw him at the show.
During English, the Grade 4s have been exploring different shades of meaning and sharing their understandings by roleplay.
