In the classroom with 4D

4D News

4D have started the term with lots of enthusiasm.  In HASS, we are looking at sustainability and we are preparing a proposal for Mr Cafferky on some sustainability ideas we could use in our school.  We are hoping to go on an excursion to the Hervey Bay Material Recovery Facility. This is where Gympie’s recycling is taken to and sorted.  In class we are aiming to reduce the amount of rubbish in our lunch boxes.  On average we have 4 pieces of rubbish each per day, so our class alone has 440 bits of rubbish for the school week. To reduce this we are investigating buying in bulk, litter free lunch boxes and using containers rather than single use items.

In Science we are looking at erosion and the causes of erosion.  We want to take a look locally at the impact the floods have on our local environment.

Last term we started making an ‘ology’ book.  ‘Ology’ is the study of something, for example ‘Spaceology’ is the study of space.  The kids could pick their own topic and they are looking so good!  They are doing a fantastic job and I look forward to seeing the end results.
