Unit 4 - Sharing the Planet

Central Idea - Sharing what we have increases the quality of life.

Grade 4 started this Unit of Inquiry by preparing for the International Children's Festival, widening their horizons and thinking globally by learning about Scottish culture and preparing displays, games and crafts to inform the school community.

In the unit proper the students looked at the difference between needs and wants, watched videos and read stories and people around the world who lacked basic needs, and prepared presentations for the Celebration of Learning to propose their solution to some of these global social issues.

We also had a lot of fun in maths classes investigating 2D and 3D shapes in a lot of different physical ways!
