Year 3/4 Learning Community

In Week 8 the Grade 3s and 4s went on an exciting adventure to Log Cabin Camp in Creswick. The two days with a one night sleepover were filled with lots of activities that pushed us out of our comfort zones, great opportunities to make some new friends and not much sleep at all!

The ¾ Learning Community came together to unite as one to form friendships and know the strength of teamwork to design bridges to go over a 20cm river. The children designed, planned and built their creations. Once built, they tested the bridge by using the weight of a full 500ml drink bottle to see if it was strong enough to hold the weight! There was lots of success, lots of trial and error and most importantly lots of fun!

In the 3&4 Learning Community literacy rotations, our children are starting to explore four rich texts. In one of the rotations, to help them create mood and emotion in their writing and to help them understand this better we warmed up the room, had it smelling like a freshly baked biscuit and then of course had a little taste.

Early in Term 1 the children in the 3&4 Learning Community invented and drew their dream cars as part of the 2022 Toyota Dream Car Competition. Some inspirational designs included cars including ‘Mini Marshmallow Maker’ that shoots marshmallows into the air and ‘The Life Saver’ which cleans air pollution and rubbish from the ocean.
