Watch This Awesome Imovie!

Hi guys!

As part of our history unit, we studied Indigenous culture.

We first wrote down questions that interested us then we chose our favourite, we started studying about it then we came together into our groups who had similar questions. And put it into a video for you!

My group’s topic was art, and my inquiry question was: Why do aboriginals paint themselves?

Here is my group’s video:

My question to you is, What was two things you learned in our video?

Creating Memories At Cranbourne

‘Hey look at this perfect photo!’ I commented,

‘Ohhh send that one to me!’ My friend Ophelia suggested.

Yesterday we were in the perfect place to take some photos, the year 4 excursion was at Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne, and it was fantastic. But it wasn’t just for photos we were there to learn about indigenous Australians.The surroundings were beautiful, you could see luscious plants and flowers everywhere. 

This are my photos!

At Cranbourne we learnt about how the tools were made and used, the second thing we did was  we got to make paint with: water, ochre and another bigger rock. You would rub them together and boom, paint. We also got to drink lemongrass water, I didn’t really like it but I’m sure others did.

After lunch we had a scavenger hunt and you will see some of the photos we took in my pic collage.

Do you know an indigenous fact? And if so what is it?

Sometimes It’s Symmetry

In 4T we have been investigating symmetry 

Symmetry is a mirror image of an object, that if cut in half will be able to be folded over the other side. The line can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, and sometimes it’s all of them!

 Today I explored our classroom to see real-world examples.

Oh and by the way what can you see that is symmetrical?
