After researching information about dams yesterday, the community of Clear Blue Valley received a letter to inform them that the dam is now being built in their community!!
They are writing persuasive letters to the water company (and some important people 😏) to convince them to move their dam somewhere else.
The children are using their notes from yesterday to support their argument.
A stranger arrived in Clear Blue Valley very upset. The community helped her but are now worried about the future of their beautiful valley.
Tomorrow they are going to research dams and see how they can use this knowledge to help them.
“Oh my goodness, they’re building a dam!!”
“where are we going to live?
There were some fantastic questions being asked to our stranger. The community really helped find out her worries and then shared some of their own during “Thought Tracking”.
The children took on their roles this afternoon to mime a typical morning in Clear Blue Valley.
They created still images and a whole class tableu.
“We need our community to be nice and safe, that’s why we have to all do jobs.”
“We’ve been learning to use our actions and hands instead of talking.”
” I love the drama parts. “
Today we designed what our characters look like and wrote matching biographies.
Our community is looking good in Clear Blue Valley.
Here are our still images we took for the photographer in our drama set during a water celebration.
This morning we have been busy researching information about the Rio Carnival for our topic, and now we are decorating our own carnival masks. They are looking feather-tastic.
Next up, drama!!
Primary four worked together in pairs and groups to create a working circuit. We have fellow engineers in the making.
We are spreading the love in primary four.
Primary four our are continuing on with their global storylines and are busy building the context behind the drama that is to follow. We have worked together to create our community valley, and decided to name it “Clear Blue Valley”.
We have been doing a lot of learning about the importance of water and the differences in the availability of it around the world.
Primary four have been learning about the parts of the mosque and used resources we have in the class to design their own. Don’t they look great?
