Welcome to Year 4/5 SYDNEY class!

Term 4

As part of our English lessons, we have been reading the book called "When the Mountain Roared" by Jess Butterworth. In the story, we get to know about Ruby a girl in the book who moves to India from Australia and we get to see how she copes with the move and experience the fantastic views of the Himalayan mountains. From reading the boook, we learn that the leopards living up in the mountains are at risk from poachers. So as part of our English lesson we created conservation posters to remind people that we need to save and protect these beautiful leopards.

In our English lesson we had a go at creating a layered art work of a forest. We had so much fun creating these!
