This week we ended our inquiries into trading
and all its variables with a Year 4 barter market. This involved no money and put students into a similar situation to the beginning of the unit when they were given 5 classroom objects to trade. This time they brought three gently loved items from home that they were prepared to part with and then had to barter with their peers to replace them. There was a lot of cross trading going on and everyone came out a winner. What was especially interesting was how calm and thoughtful the students were as they worked to get what they wanted. This was a real contrast to the earlier experience where there was a lot is demanding, grabbing and shouting. It was a true reflection of how much they have learnt in just 6 weeks. The children, themselves, can relate the steps through which they have passed to develop their knowledge and skills and it appears we have some budding businessmen and businesswomen in our midst.
In 4B we created and performed more plays for reading and learnt about probability in maths.
Look at this week's video to get a better picture of their learning and remember to visit our Edmodo pages to participate even further.
