Grade 4 students went with Grade 3 students to Ballarat – Sovereign Hill.  Mr Huglin, Ms Starling and Ms Geyer were the teachers that went.  We did lots of fun activities – with the best being – panning fo gold.

We had a man visit us who had lots of interesting animals.

Students from Hawkesdale P12 College particpated in the Moyne Idol.  Students from Grade 4 and 5 performed acts that included funokoshi karate, skipping and dancing.  All students performed very well.

Schools are no longer. The time has finally come when you will need to go to a museum to see a blackboard. All our blackbords have been unceremoniously ripped out to be replaced by these electronic things called team boards. The kids are rapt while MR H is still in grief! No more chalk chucking to get their attention. No more dust for the cleaners. No more dirty pants for the washing machine. Just a clean chalkless machine to engage the kids with. What will they call us teachers now instead of Chalkies ? Computer Nerds?

 

 

 

Last week we went to Melbourne with the grade sixes.  WE saw lots of different things while we were in Melbourne.  We left Hawkesdale at 7.00am on Wednesday morning with Campes Coaches.

Thursday 14th August grade 4/5 made our second visit to Hawkesdale Preschool. This time our challenge was to write something that we could read and entertain a kinder person with. We has stories, an icy pole recipe, alphabet poems, and some non-fiction things especially about animals. Grace’s story called Block Your Nose proved very popular. Can you imagine lots of different reasons why you should block your nose ? After sharing our writing and the books we made we played, made, and painted with our young chums.

In maths we investigated how many hours a week, which is168 hours, doing the following – sleeping, eating/drinking, travelling, washing/shower/teeth, in class, playing, chores/work, sport, hobbies/clubs, TV/DVD/Video, Computer Games/X Box/Nintendoetc, Internet, Reading,Other.

Reading ,computers, work, sport etc were all not as part of class time.

Sleep is what we did the most- generally between 70 – 80 hours which is nearly half a week and about 3 days asleep !

We found we spend 25 hours a week in class which was the second most thing we do.

Comparing everyones individual graphs and data, the most common activity that came next in terms of spending the most time was for 7 of us watching TV/DVD and another 7 playing computer games. For 4 it was playing and for 3 it was travel. Sport and hobbies had 1 each.

For what we did the least of was Reading for 10 of us, Chores/Work was for 8 of us, washing, hobbies, internet, and other were the rest.

We all had to present our data on a colored in 168 hour graph and then onto an exel spreadsheet with a computer made pie graph. Next we had to wr
