Today we did some Think Outside The Box inspired writing inspired by this picture:

Some students made it into a cat, timer, underground world, and even a villain! What would you make it into??

We enjoyed the movie version of The City of Ember, and noticed many differences between the book and the movie including the age of Poppy, they didn't have candles until climbing the big hill, things happened faster in the movie, order of events was changed (Granny searching the couch), some things never happened in the book, note falls to a different person, and the creatures were gigantic. One wonder we have was, Why do they never give the people of Ember movable light (flashlights, etc)?

For our final STEAM challenge we worked in groups to build the tallest tower possible using only paper. Our tallest tower was over 120cm tall and it supported the weight of a plant pot holding 150 plastic bingo chips. Great team work Grade 4 :)

We had a great time today in our last Music and PE classes at New Brighton. Thank you Ms.Lysak and  Ms.Nanavaty for an awesome year!!
