Grade 4 camp was so fun, we did lots of activities. we experience living in the wild. Also the trainers taught us survival. We also had to work together as a team and cooperate. Then we had to balance an egg up a hill. At the end of day we went to a valley and it was so cool it echoed for a long time. So I think that Grade 4 had a lot of fun. by Tyler

Finding prices around the world
This was for a Math unit combining decimals and money 1. We decided on 5 items that could be bought everywhere in the world. 2. For homework we contacted a primary source from our home countries and submitted the information using Google docs via our blog. 3. Next we entered in the information in a spreadsheet. 4. After this we added the total amount and then using a conversion rate and a calculator, converted the prices into Singapore dollars. 5. We then shared that information inside another spreadsheet that we made in Google docs. 6. Finally you can see the results and tell which are the most expensive countries to live in. Descriptive writing of a night
Last night was so beautiful. As I ran around with my friends, the dim moonlight shone over us, lighting the grass and trees. Our shadows could be seen in the darkness..... The buzz of insects and the croaks of frogs could be heard lightly. As we looked at the stars, they winked at us and through the corner of my eye, I saw all sorts of colourful lights. Me and my friends turned around and saw amazing fireworks. They were bursting everywhere and I could hear them in a distance. It was the best night I ever had. by Manaal This unit is about how people organize themselves to help people in need.
Here are some important points: Yesterday we had five minutes to pack a bag because there was a pretend earthquake. We pretended to have a member of the group have a broken legs and there were dogs with sharp teeth and excellent camouflage. We had to escape the country and dogs and that is virtually impossible. This was helping us to organize ourselves to help those in need. Some ways we organize ourselves in 4SB We organize ourselves by managing time well. We organize who gets what and when in our class. An example of this is that we have a ball chart.We always split up into equal groups. By the time it’s lunch time we had already done our work even though it’s a special day. We have camp this month and we have to be organized because they won’t help us and that will help us to be more organized because it is practice. We also have action plans and we are struggling because you have to be very organized and we are not pro’s yet so it is very hard. Our teacher is very strict and that is good because he keeps us very organized which is a good thing because that means we are very organized at home. The main idea of How We Organize ourselves is that we don’t change many things because it makes huge problems. We have groups for different learning levels as it is very hard for the lower level kids and they don’t learn. We also do our weekly rewards and that means that we get prizes like a lollypop. Thanks for reading. bye! This was a homework assignment, which means these are done without teacher assistance.

This book was about a boy called Bradley and he wasn't a very nice boy, he sat last seat last row and he would say rude words to his class mates. A new boy came in called Jeff from D.C, he sat next to Bradley. When the bell rang for recess Jeff ran to Bradley and Bradley said," Give me a dollar or else I'll spit on you." Jeff gave him a dollar and ran away. A new councillor came and Bradley's parents signed in for Bradley to go. Bradley wasn't excited at all, so when Bradley was home he started pretending to talk to his stuffed animals because they were his only friends. He went to the councillors office nearly every day and one day when he was friends with Jeff he accidentally went in the girls bathroom, he was found by two girls. Bradley told the counsellor and she said its ok don't worry. After a while a girl called Malinda went in the boys bathroom. She didn't do it by accident, she did it on purpose because she liked Jeff and he was in the boys bathroom! Malinda was having a birthday party and she couldn't invite one boy who was Jeff so she said to herself," I know what I have to do" so she invited Jeff's friend Bradley.. Bradley had never been to a birthday party so when he arrived he was about to tell malinda what her present was but Jeff stopped him immediately. After the party he was very good because of Jeff and most of all the counsellor. The counsellor had gone to another school so he sent her a note saying" dear Carla, sorry I got so upset with you for leaving, and I hope you have a good time at your new school. Love Bradley.

For this activity the the parents woke the kids up on Monday morning and told them they had 5 minutes to pack a bag with the things they thought they would need to survive. We then took the children to a park across the road and gave them a number of problems to work through. We pretended it was raining , some people needed medical help and finally we needed to escape Singapore. We followed it up with a lively discussion about 'wants and needs'. We hope you enjoy the short video. Kohju AvaGakutoManaalAndjaniSeunghyunRanMateiCaleSheenaJun WenAeddanSaraJoshuaTylerPanasheChanMan Xin |
