As we move further into the term, we are exploring different areas of the curriculum in Maths. Our class has been learning about Length and recently had the fun task of measuring each other's heights, recording the measurements as decimals, and then ordering these numbers from smallest to largest. We noticed that the difference between our shortest and tallest person in our grade is over 40cm!

Last Stratchat, Grade 3-4 introduced you to some of the clever poetry that they have been writing. This edition, they continue to explore the world of poetry, specifically through the device of ‘sound.’ Here is a small selection of ‘Onomatopoeia’ poetry.

Baby birds

Cheep, cheep goes the baby birds

Flap, flap keep trying, baby birds!

By Levi

Basketball

Squeak goes the basketball, into the hoop

Flop goes the basketball, down the hoop

The hot, spicy stadium

Bounce, bounce, goes the ball

Sloop goes the water from the players

Chirps from the crowd. It’s like the NBA!

By Aubree

Carbonara

Slurp! Delicious carbonara is the best!

The sauce is the best too.

It has ham, cheese, and the most important thing? Pasta!

You also have to have a drink – gulp, gulp! Ahh

I think I can last years with Carbonara!

Beach

Whoosh, whoosh goes the waves

Woof, woof goes the dogs

Crunch, crunch goes the food

Squeak! The people are here!
