As we head toward the end of term, Class Four has been completing our final mapping activities for the year.  This had included completing a detailed map of Denmark, and considering how the map of our home town would have looked different one hundred, or even two hundred, years ago.  After mastering the use of keys on our Denmark Map, we turned to designing our own island homes, adapting Andy Map keys to suit our new contexts.

During literacy, students have been writing narratives that we hope to share with younger classes, giving us a clear sense of audience and purpose.  We have gone to outer space, slayed dragons, conjured magic powers or simply written dramatic stories of getting lost on school excursions!  All this while learning long division, turning our newly mastered numeracy skills into a chart-topping hip hop song to help us remember the seemingly complex procedure.

Wishing all of our families a wonderful break, and we look forward to seeing you all again in the coming year!
