September in 4th Class

We have had a busy few weeks since the start of September in 4th class. We are very excited to have a fantastic bank of computers in our room this year! We are starting Literacy Lift Off tomorrow and we are all looking forward to trying out our computer skills. Thankfully with the nice weather we have been out in the garden for P.E. We are learning how to play Tag Rugby and started off by learning some warm up games. Today our new class librarians were very busy! They were scanning out our books during our first visit of the year to our school library.We will be back soon to fill you in on all the other exciting news from our room.
