This week we started exploring some of our shape and space outcomes for grade 4. We started by looking at understanding the concept of congruency and symmetry. Then we learned about area and perimeter of regular and irregular 2-D shapes.

For writing, we examined how to use a graphic organizer to help organize our writing. We did two "How to" writing pieces to help show the importance of sequential order in writing. We also looked at word choice when writing as we made a haiku poem about Fall.

To go along with our Fall haiku, we explored some watercolour techniques. We made a Fall leaf piece using a dry brush, wet brush and salt application. To outline the leaves we used permanent markers and wax crayons.

In science we did some research looking at the life cycle of some common materials. Each student was responsible for creating a flow chart that demonstrates the cycle of the product they choose.
