Project Based Learning!
Have you ever wondered what an Emperor penguin looks like? Perhaps you'd like to see the size of an actual T-Rex's Egg! Maybe the specific colour difference between a toad and a frog or what type of animal is a Zedonk. Have a look at some of our creative projects & learn some cool facts. We love project based learning in 4th Class B. Most importantly it's FUN and creates a student centred environment along with allowing us to build on skills such as :
* Critical thinking
* How to integrate multiple subjects
* Develop our 'Social literacy"
* Build on our individual strengths
* Develop our confidence and presentation skills

Seeds –
A little seed for me to sow - A little earth to
make it grow- A little hole, a little pat, A little
wish, and that is that,- A little sun, a little
shower. A little while - And then, a flower!
The Marrog is a fantastic poem by R.C. Scriven that we have been looking at over the last few days.
The Marrog
. My desk’s at the back of the class
And nobody, nobody knows
I’m a Marrog, from Mars
With a body of brass
And seventeen fingers and toes.
Wouldn’t they shriek if they knew
I’ve three eyes in the back of my head
And my hair is bright purple
My nose is deep blue
And my teeth are half-yellow half-red?
My five arms are silver and spiked
With knives on them sharper than spears.
I could go back right now if I liked
------ And return in a million light years.
I could gobble them all
For I am seven foot tall
And I’m breathing green flames from my ears.
Wouldn’t they yell if they knew,
If they guessed a Marrog was here?
Ha ha they haven’t a clue –
Or wouldn’t they tremble with fear!
“Look, look, a Marrog!”
They’d all scream – and S M A C K!
The blackboard would fall and the ceiling would crack
And the teacher would faint, I suppose.
But I would grin to myself, sitting right at the back
And Nobody, nobody knows.
