Hunger Busters

In term 2 our Hillview students were involved in fund raising for the Hunger Busters campaign.   The students in each class who raised the most money, where invited to visit the local community where some of this money goes to buying food.  It was a very interesting trip and allowed our students to interact with the community and see how the food is prepared for the children.   Hunger Busters also helps provide food to the surrounding communities to ensure that the children have balanced meals both before and after school each day.

Well done to our students on helping the local community.

Volcanoes Explained

Carrying on with our topic of nonfiction texts, Year 4 are hard at work writing explanatory texts. First we learned about how tsunamis are created. We looked at features of explanations such as numbers and bullet points, as well as technical terms and time connectors. Lastly we used iPads to research volcanos, and create explanations. We hope to display them soon!

 

 

Research Project

Year 4 has spent the last two weeks learning about features of Nonfiction text. To cap off the unit, children are working in pairs to complete a research project about a designated insect. The children are using both iPads and books to complete their projects.
