In Mathematics we are learning about multiplication.  We made a multiplication pyramid!  We had to use our times tables to make it.  Our pyramid had 12 levels:
1 x 1 = 1
2 x 2 = 4
3 x 3 = 9
4 x 4 = 16
5 x 5 = 25
6 x 6 = 36
7 x 7 = 49
8 x 8 = 64
9 x 9 = 81
10 x 10 = 100
11 x 11 = 121
12 x 12 = 144

We used 650 blocks to make a multiplication pyramid.  We had lots of fun building our pyramid.  It was hard work.

Police Talk

Rendered Image


We had the police come to visit our school.  The police told us about cyberbullying and what you should do when you're in danger on the internet. They told us that sites are never free and be careful of social media never accept people who you don’t know. If you have Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram or many more social media if someone friend requests who you don’t know don’t accept it. You also need to be 13 or older for many of these sites.  We have been watching #gameon in class.  You can watch it here:

Thoughts about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Rendered Image


Year 4 have been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.  Today we finished the novel.  Find out what some Year 4 students thought of the fantastic story:


Image from: http://childrensbooks.wikia.com/wiki/Charlie_and_the_Chocolate_Factory


Calvin's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book so far was when Charlie won the chocolate factory and he won a lifetime supply of chocolate, sweets, and any food they want.


This is my favourite part because Charlie lived in a poor house, but now he could live in the factory with his family and help Mr Willy Wonka make new inventions.


My least favourite character in the book is Augustus Gloop.  This is because he is rude, selfish, impatient, annoying, greedy, has bad manners, fat and he drank Mr Willy Wonka’s chocolate water when Mr Willy Wonka didn’t let him drink it.


Justin's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book was the bit when Veruca Salt was pulled by the squirrels and falls in the rubbish chute.


This is my favourite bit because the squirrels put her arms and legs down to the ground and puts her in the rubbish chute.


My least favourite character in the book is Mike Teavee. This is because he watches too much tv and buts in when people are talking.


Rebecca's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book was  when Veruca Salt the spoilt girl went down the rubbish chute.


This is my favourite bit because she deserved to go into the rubbish chute because she is really annoying.


My least favourite character in the book is Augustus Gloop.  This is because Augustus Gloop is really really mean and selfish. He is also very fat!


Christopher's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book so far was the bit when Mike Teavee  went into the TV room and shrunk.  This is my favourite bit because Mike Teevee has a lot of toys and likes TV like me.


My least favourite character in the book is Veruca Salt  because she asks for too many things.


Michael's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book was when Augustus fell into the chocolate river.  This is my favourite bit because he got stuck inside a undersized tube.
My least favourite character in the book is Mike Teavee because he disobeyed the rules shrunk inside the television.  This is because he watched too much television so his parents should throw out their television.


James H's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book so far was the bit when Mike Teavee shrank in the TV.   This is my favourite part because Mike was talking like a squirrel because he was the size of a squirrel.
My least favourite character in the book is Veruca Salt. This is because she is annoying and always gets what she want because of her mother and father.

Damien's Thoughts
My favourite part of the book so far was the bit when Augustus Gloop ate everything in the chocolate room and fell in the chocolate river.  This is my favourite bit because Augustus is as fat as a pig in mud and I like when I see him eating everything in the chocolate room.


My least favourite character in the book is Violet because she likes chewing gum and she's so bossy.  This is because she turned into a blueberry and hates sharing plus she hates boys and knows karate and she thinks she is the best person in the world.  


James B's Thoughts
My favourite part of the story was the bit when Charlie finds out that he will be able to own the chocolate factory when he gets old enough. This is my favourite bit because it makes you think about what happens after and you can finish the book off yourself and it could be anything you want.


My least favourite character in the book is Veruca Salt who is the girl whose mother and father give her anything she wants. This is because because she is spoilt and whatever she asks for she gets. They also give her anything she wants because if they don’t she screams at them all day long.

Confectionery Inventions!

Rendered Image
In Chapter 19 of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory they saw the inventing room. Mr Wonka had found new inventions to let out in the shops. So all the children got a never ending gob-stopper. Year 4 was inspired by what Mr Willy Wonka did so we created our own creation.  Miss Lee printed out a saucepan and we let our creative mind blood flow and we made our creation and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Cook Text Message

Rendered Image
By Calvin and Rebecca

Last term we jumped on the laptops and went in a website that Miss Lee emailed to us called iphone generator. In HSIE we have been learning about the First Fleet in Australia. Miss Lee gave us a challenge to create a text message that Captain Cook might have sent to his boss when he arrived in Australia if he had an iphone. So in our English books we wrote texts then we went on computers and got the iphone generator and wrote the messages in there. After we opened up slide and dragged to the new slide.Then under the bar we wrote our names. Then Miss Lee our teacher printed them out and hung them up in our classroom. We could choose any colour for the messages bubble as well.
