Welcome to Grade 4/5 for 2021 – The children have made an excellent start to the new school year.

Our class have been focusing on a Science Inquiry unit entitled Plants in Action.

Through inquiry sessions we have captured students’ interests and found out what they think they know and what they want to know about how living things, such as plants.

We have collected seed pods, planted seeds, watched time lapse videos of beans and sunflowers growing. We have made observations of seed growth, dissected flowers and have elicited students’ questions about plant parts, plant growth and the life cycle of flowering plants.

Below are some images of our investigations and some lovely artwork. The children are totally fascinated with this unit. We are now going to move on to look at friends and foes found in our garden.
