Has Spring sprung? It sure feels like it! The heater and the jackets are off, and there have been some amazing days! Everyone is feeling restless; sure glad Spring break is coming soon. We still have our field trip to the Busan Science museum next Wednesday, as well as end an en of term party!
In math we have been working with estimation for multi digit addition and subtraction, as well as complements of multiples of 100 and 1000. Year 4’s have been adding and subtracting mixed fractions with different denominators.
This week we wrapped up our English unit on writing letters by writing our own letters of complaint. We were able to write both traditional and email letters in our unit, but the final complaint was a formally structured email in response to a prompt with a problem to be addressed. It was very amusing reading such angry emails from year 3 and 4!
In IPC we had a lot of fun further messing with dairy products to explore the properties of matter and how they can change as well as using scientific methods to observe and measure changes. Monday we experimented with how quickly we could melt butter to change from a solid a liquid. Wednesday we used ice and energy to change liquid milk into ice cream! It was definitely everyone’s favorite day.
As we head into the weekend, I encourage everyone to take some time to play outside in the fair weather and recharge. I look forward to seeing you all back in class next week,
Mrs. Leah
