Hello everyone!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been another busy and creative week in Grade 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In English, we have been putting the finishing touches on our persuasive letters<\/strong>. The students have worked incredibly hard to develop their writing skills. They began by choosing an opinion they felt strongly about, then wrote an engaging introduction using a rhetorical question<\/strong> to capture the reader’s attention. They supported their opinions with detailed reasons, personal examples, and researched facts before considering a counter-argument and offering a possible solution. Finally, they concluded their letters with a strong closing statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be passing the letters on to Ms. Rose, and there is a possibility that some of the students’ ideas may be able to become a reality! Of course, there are many practical considerations, so this won’t be possible for every request, but it will be exciting to see if any of their suggestions can be put into action. More importantly, the students have learned that persuasive writing is a powerful way to express their opinions, advocate for ideas they believe in, and have their voices heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Art, we continued exploring the work of Vincent van Gogh<\/strong>. We looked closely at several of his paintings and identified whether they were landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, or still lifes<\/strong>. We also used our imaginations by asking questions such as, “If you stepped into this painting, what would you hear? What would you smell? How would it make you feel?”<\/em> These discussions encouraged the students to think beyond what they could simply see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by The Starry Night<\/strong>, we then went outside to sketch the beautiful landscape behind our school. The students observed carefully and thought about how Van Gogh used movement, colour, and texture to bring a scene to life. When I returned on Wednesday, I was delighted to see that the class had continued their creativity by beginning to paint their artworks. I look forward to seeing the finished pieces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we move through the final weeks of term, we have also been talking about the importance of kindness and respect<\/strong>. One area we are continuing to work on is remembering that everyone deserves to be treated kindly, not only our close friends. We have also discussed that our classroom should be a place where we help one another succeed, rather than looking for each other’s mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes\u2014that is an important part of learning\u2014and we want our classroom to be a place where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this could be a lovely conversation to continue at home over the weekend: What does kindness look like when you’re with someone who isn’t your best friend? How can we help others feel included and supported, even when we have different personalities or opinions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing weekend, and I look forward to seeing everyone next week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
