Year 4 – Online Can Be Fun

The Year 4’s have been showing amazing dedication during this lockdown period, so their teachers decided to reward them by changing Fridays to fun days.

Some of the things we do on Fridays include:

1. We dress up, including themes such as funky hair/hats, bring a book, superhero’s, cool shades, character day and wear your favourite colour.

2. We played online games such as scavenger hunt, funny face screenshots, charades and amazing race.

3. We go on virtual tours all over the world. Recently, we visited the Amazon, Universal Studios Orlando, NASA and Pirates of the Caribbean.

4. We learn to draw. Our Year 4 students have created amazing drawings following ‘Art Hub’ on YouTube.

5. We do some amazing art. Learning about Picasso and Cubism and One Point Perspective.

6. Story time. We read some inspirational books using ‘Storyline Online’ on  YouTube. We listened to Oprah reading the Hula Hoopin’ Queen and practiced our own Hula skills. We also listened to the inspirational story ‘The house that Jane built’ and our students shared some ideas of what they can do to help people in need.

We miss our friends and we miss our school, our teachers miss us too, BUT it hasn’t been all bad and we will get through this stronger than ever.
