We Are Learning How to read the graph and talk about the results.


For Maths we have been learning all about Statistics in Room 10. We have been learning about bar graphs, pie graphs and pictographs. Here is an activity I can do on Mathletics to help me.

"I am learning to find the smallest bar on the graph. It was easy to match the words. I find it tricky with some of the words like 'fewer'."

Self-Portrait 2018


Look at our fabulous Self-Portraits! 

We have been learning to sketch our faces using a sketch pencil. 

We used our different types of lines (whispering lines, loop the loop lines and skinny lines). Then we went over it in pastels to make them stand out. Lastly, we added some funky glasses to our faces!

2017 Art Exhibition

Our Art Exhibition theme for 2017 is 'We are Elm Park.' We decided to look at the flowers we could see around our school.

Room 4 practiced sketching the flowers before we decided to make them using paper. We looked at our sketches to see how many petals our flowers had. We all made two flowers that were the same that we had seen around the school; a daisy and a daffodil. The other flowers were chosen by us.

We made vases out of paper and cut out little designs.

Using onomatopoeia in our Reading

We have been Reading with Miss Lee this term. 
Our learning has been based around fireworks because it was Guy Fawkes day. 
We made a sentence about our fireworks too.
Look at the awesome art we made with our Reading groups!

All About Shapes


This term Room 4 has been learning about Shapes. We have been looking around our school for different shapes that we can find (we found lots on the playground!) 
After we found the shapes, we looked at the qualities of each shape, like how many sides they had.
Miss Donnell took us outside and we drew some of the shapes we had seen around our school. In the middle we wrote how many sides they had.
These are my shapes.

Writing for the Future

For our 50th Jubilee Room 4 decided to write about what they love about Elm Park School. We brainstormed some ideas about the things we do in the classroom, people who make our day better and our favourite things to do at morning tea and lunchtime. These stories went into a time capsule that will be opened when the school turns 100.
