My 2009 Reflection

My year in grade 4j has been great.One of the many highlights of my year was in term 1. in term 1 my highlight was when we got our penpal letter, i had fun talking to my penpal Mckaylee.In term 2 my favourite time was making our famous Australian projects. My person was Henry Christopher Lawson, he was a famous poet. I found many facts about him. Also In term 2 we learnt this Australian song. In Term 3 I liked it when the level 3 did a fundraiser for people who don't have clean water like us.We raised $708. My other highlight in term 3 was when we did the pengmation.I had fun doing that with my group. In Term 4 my highlight was making the balloon powered cars.Also I couldn't forget my lovely, kind, sweet, reliable, pretty, intelligent,trustworthy and smart teacher Miss Jeffery.That is my reflection of this year!

Chess Board Challenge

Today Miss Jeffery set us a challenge. We had to count how many squares were on a chess board. You may think that it's 64 but no, we had to count those squares and the bigger squares! We found out a pattern. We worked out that there were 64 single squares and 49 two by two sized squares. As they are both square numbers (8x8 and 7x7) we predicted that there would be 36 three by three sized squares, 25 four by four sized squares and so on. And we were right! So you can see our pattern. In the end all of them together is........ 204! We had lots of fun finding out and writing sums ( Miss Jeffery the most) we all had super duper FUN.

Making Bark Huts By Leah

On Thursday level 3 did bark huts. We all had to make a hut before we stuck on all the bark. 4J went outside and we went to put on the bark. Everybody kept yelling out "Miss Jeffery" and it was really funny to see Miss Jeffery running around to put the glue on the bark huts. Some people had to share bark huts because they didn't finish their huts. I shared my one with Catherine. Everybody had so much fun sticking everything on. The end

Graphs, Tallies and Charts

In our class we have been doing graphs, Tallies and charts. We did a graph about our class mates' birthdays. We also did a tally of who likes different things. I did what's your favourite pet? I found out that people like dogs the most. Dogs got 17 votes. We had fun using the graphs, charts and Tallies and finding out stuff about some people. Maths is fun. By Leah.
