Our Week 8
This week in 4M we have started learning our division facts. We have learnt that the division facts are the turn around of the times tables. We watched a YouTube video which explained division and showed us some examples. On Monday we had HPE with Mrs McAfee and we played basketball at Clairvaux. It was our last lesson with Mathiung. At assembly the Sumdog Metropolitan maths competition awards were handed out. Four people from our class finished in the top 10. Our class won! We have been learning about weathering and erosion in science. Weathering breaks rocks and soils down while erosion takes soil or rock away. Today we have art and ICT. Tomorrow we are going on an excursion to Ngutana Lui for history.
Happy learning !

At 7:20 am on Monday, the St Bernard’s girl’s netball team left for Wembley Park. They travelled by bus to take part in a netball competition. The rest of the class started school and we began our day with reading groups. The whole class activity for Monday was about reading Haiku poems. We began our maths lesson by listening to the 7 & 8 times tables songs from the class Weebly. People did a mixture of activities to practise their tables.
After lunch our class went to HPE and we did basketball with Mattiung. Then we learnt and blogged about how haiku poems are written. After that we made a haiku as a class about sunset. On Tuesday in science we looked at our soil samples using magnifying glasses and a microscope to get a closer look at them. We were observing them to describe them.
In Religion we compared different parables which described the same event. We read “Jesus heals many at Simon’s house” and compared it to “Jesus heals Peter’s mother in law.” We noticed that the main idea in both stories was the same, but they described the healing in different ways. We think that this is because they are written by different authors which have different perspectives.
We read “The Danger Zone: Avoid Being a Convict Sent To Australia” and we learnt that lots of people in England in 1785 were unemployed because new machines were doing all the work in factories. Many people were desperate and had to resort to pickpocketing to survive.
This week we had music with Mrs Clelland and we learned how to play the Alleluia on the recorder, so Mrs Clelland could choose someone to play it in our Liturgy of the Word. On Thursday morning we had a Liturgy of the Word which was lead by Mrs Child and Charlie was the altar server. Lyndon played the Alleluia on the recorder. Sophia projected the words for everyone to follow in the songs. On Thursday afternoon we had art with Mrs Andersen and we learned how to do portraits of our friends.
Today we have qualified to take part in the Sumdog Metropolitan Maths Contest. Melanie was number one when we finished this morning.
That’s our week by 4M
Week 6 Term 2
Year 4M Weekly Blog 13/5/16
Every day this week, we started with our class prayer. This is when we ask God to bless our day. On most days, we have reading rotations. The purpose is to improve our reading and comprehension. At the end, one group shares their learning. Another daily activity is Sumdog, where we play games that help us understand Maths. We are currently learning multiplication so we sing along to the times tables. During this week, we worked on Religion tasks using real bibles and Bible Gateway online. For English, we are reading and writing poetry, particularly cinquains. This is a 5 line poem that is shaped in a diamond. One of the interesting subjects we learnt this week was Geology. We found out that ancient landforms change. We are working on a project to examine soil samples and predict their changes.
Each day and week our timetable is different. On Monday we have Phys Ed. This week we played basketball. On Tuesdays, some students have Band lessons and everyone goes to Hymn practice in the afternoon. On Wednesday, we have Assembly. This week we went to the Library to borrow books. On Thursday we had a Music lesson and an Art lesson. Today, Friday was Crazy Hair Day. It was a bring day for the School Spring Fair. Usually, on Fridays, we check on our homework. Today we looked back on our week and began a weekly class blog that you are reading right now.
