Forces and Structures

I can't believe that we've finished our unit on Forces and Structures. We had great fun working on our structures. Here is a rememberance of our labour.



Well done Year 4B.

We have been practicing using conjunctions. As we learned in the cartoon (Conjunction Junction), the main conjunctions are: AND, BUT, OR. We were told in the video that they would get us "pretty far" - and that's the truth!

AND = addition BUT = opposite OR = choice

I've added another conjunction to our "must use" list: SO. It's a little harder to understand, but you are a clever bunch.

SO = result

There is an interactive exercise for you to try. Click on the word CONJUNCTION and you will be whisked away to a cyber-exercise. Good Luck!

(PS: Can you find our conjunctions (and, but, or, so) in the wordsearch?)

Wow, the time is just flying by and we are working hard to learn all we can about forces and structures!

We are happy to share our latest endeavor - Project Legoburgh. This is a powerpoint presentation that has borrowed heavily from a webquest entitled: Budding Builders by K. Bence - http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/grant/buildingdesign/index.html.

Please take a minute and activate the PowerPoint Presentation to see Year 4B's tasks for Friday, February 9 and Tuesday, February 13. We were really working hard (and enjoying it!!).



A special THANK YOU goes to Miss Tracy who came across the WebQuest that this ppt is based on.

By popular demand I am including the maths links that we visited today. They were fun and we learned a lot about 3-D Shapes. Visit them often!
