April - Design of Homes/Rooms

This month 4th class looked at homes through the ages and the changes in architectural style over the years. They also looked at how homes and buildings are becoming more environmentally friendly and came up with some ideas of their own. They then created their own modern designs for rooms and homes using recyclable material. I think you'll agree that the boys and girls from 4th class did a fantastic job designing their homes/rooms. We may have some future interior designers and architects in our class!

February - Intel Lego Workshop

This month 4th class took part in a Lego workshop run by Intel. The workshop was based on the supply chain process and the various roles involved.

The two teams competed against each other and each team had the following roles:

The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and took their roles in the supply chain process very seriously. Thank you to the 2 Intel employees who came in to 4th class to facilitate the fantastic workshop.
