Grade 4 Overview 2012-2013

The programme for the year 2011-12 will be as follows:

The journey from appreciation to enjoyment in our Language Package will include the following components:

•    Print to screen
•    Anthology of poems
•    Novels of different genres
•    Scripting of a street play

Logical Mathematical Beacon

Numbers are fundamental in describing the world and, therefore, decoding a symbol system (listening, speaking, reading or writing) is key to helping children problem solve.
This consists of 5 strands:
•    Number system and operations - fractions
•    Patterns and Algebra
•    Geometry
•    Data handling
•    Measurements
•    Problem solving – applying skills learnt through the grade
Emphasis will be laid in comprehending and articulating the language of math, which is critical for the child to become less helpless and more competent.

Scientific Thinking

Scientific temperament will be developed through understanding:
•    Cause and Effect
•    There is nothing random in nature
•    Science as a noun and a verb

Moving towards this aim, students will be learning about:

•    Musculoskeletal System
•    Planet Earth
•    Food Web   
•    Simple Machines
•    Air

Citizenship

We firmly believe that the formative years are character building years. Students develop skills, aptitudes and attitudes that will eventually lead to their well-being. One of the steps towards this is the Citizenship Programme that Grade 4 will be undertaking. The students will be engaged with a project they believe in, where they will be the change, and be changed in the process.

Technology

Students will understand technology as an answer to the human need inspired by nature.

They will explore how human need led to the development of complex machines from simple machines. They will understand this through the time line of development of transport devices.

In IT, students will learn the skills of using the advance features of MS Power Point, MS Word, basics of CorelDraw, Movie Maker, use of Internet as a research and communication tool (Internet, emailing, search engines).

Beacons like Inter-Intra personal, Adaptability, Creative Thinking and Craftsmanship will be addressed through the year.

We are in a partnership where your regular attendance at MLVs, dialogues with the child and regular feedback will maximize your child’s potential.

Dear Parents,

A whole year gone by, here we are sharing the last fortnight that we have spent with your children. Thank you so much for being part of all the endeavours throughout the year. We indeed value all your partnership this year which has made a lot of experiences worthwhile.

We have spent the last few days closing the loop for the whole year through revisiting all the beacons through different languages of learning. We reflected upon the year gone by and saw that we have indeed changed and grown in our own ways through the ‘Çhanged I Have’ format. Here we were able to do this with peer and teacher feedback also.

The children have been able to pick their most memorable moments of the year through photographs. This they have put into a PPT to share in the SLC. Equal amount of work has gone into clocking the year in their CV’s.  The evidence files that also show their work was also organised. Please do applaud them when they share it all with you.

We culminated our doing good congloms in different groups and grade 6 buddies lead the congloms. They spun a yarn in the form of a story that had the doing good component in it.  Finally we took away that ‘Doing Good’ is not only when we come to school or when we are associated with some NGOs but it lies in the smallest of the deeds that we do. Please do encourage them during summer vacations to continue doing good. 

Food Web: students did a research and came up with different articles that talk about how man's mindful actions can change the story of imbalance in nature. It can create a positive impact on the food web and can change long term negative effects to positive ones. We debated the pros and cons of each story and how it will matter in the long run or not.

Food for thought was how each one can make an impact even a small one to better the future to everyone through reduce, reuse and recycle. We listened to a song 3R’s and watched a video about this which got us thinking. We also watched an animation of Charlie and Lola about the same idea.

In totality it’s been a great fun filled year with loads of doing good and doing well. Kudos to all of us. Have a great holiday.

For further queries please get in touch with us.

Regards,

Itchha and Mira
