Grade 4 Overview 2009-2010
Dear Parents, The programme for the year 2009-10 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 wellbeing. 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, 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.
For any other queries please feel free to call us. Fozia and Raji

Quotable Quotes

Parent Quote after attending Orientation for the new academic year:

"The presentation was excellent. Everyone got completely overwhelmed by it. I guess you have just raised the bar of expectations sky high. Also, the sense of release that people had of having chosen Riverside; Ironically that Riverside has chosen them. Thanks for an inspirational morning!"
