Migration Reflection
As part of the Where We Are In Place Time unit, grade four completed a range of learning experiences to help us understand more about the the central idea-Human Migration is a response to different factors. At the end of the unit, we reflected together on the different learning experiences and discussed what we learned by doing them. Finally, we thought about how our thinking had changed over the last six weeks and recorded this using the visible thinking routine ‘I used to think….Now I think…’

I used to think that it took one week to two weeks to be granted, denied or granted temporary asylum. Now I know that it take at least three weeks to get the result! I used to think that migration was as simple as punctuation. Now I find migration really complicated because there are many different parts to it. I used to think that the boats refugees use were safe for them but now I know that the boats are only slightly safer if the smuggler is on it. At the beginning of the unit I had no idea what being a refugee was like now after I heard Kumar’s story I knew more a less what it felt like! I used to think that going to a country as a refugee was easy but hearing the Lost Boys of Sudan’s story I know how hard it is. I didn’t know the difference between a refugee and a migrant as well as I know now.

Jitish Kallat Portraits We made our portraits in the style of Jitish Kallat an artist from Mumbai.   We represented our cultural identity, nationality, language, religion and ethnicity in our portraits. Here is my portrait. How does your portrait reflect your cultural Identity? It shows my cultural identity in the background because I drew the Brazilian flag which is where I come from. I put down ISZL because it is one of the schools I have been to. I love to eat sushi so I put that down because it is part of me. I put down all the things that matter to me in my life. Some of the words and pictures I put on my painting reflected all the things I think are important in life. Such as my family in the top left corner of my hair, my friends in the lower right, my favourite teddy bear, me and my brothers Xbox 360 and the cinema at the top middle of my head.

Final Art Rotation Reflection May 2017 Mrs Richardson Week 1 I learned more things on advertisement today b drawing a pizza box. I learned that you have to make it look really yummy to eat to make people buy it and you should add bright colours to make it stand out. Like at McDonald's where they make it look even better than in real life! I learned that you have to make it as accurate as possible when you’re advertising because people might get disappointed if it’s not all they expected it to be. I liked the challenge with drawing the font because sometimes it was bold , sometimes it was cursive . Sometimes it was underlined , sometimes it was comic font. I really liked drawing the boxes but it was a challenge for me at specific parts of the box! I especially enjoyed colouring it in! Week 2 The second week with Mrs Richardson was fun because we started thinking about how we’re going to lay out our posters for trade fair. It was really fun deciding which fon...

We did an experiment with different types of toy balls. We would drop all of them from a specific height and see how high the ball would bounce. We then measured the height and moved onto the next ball. Once we dropped all the balls once we would drop them again. We dropped them 3 times. In the end the ball which jumped the highest was a red spiky ball.
