What’s Happening In Year 4

Year 4 Learning so far.

In year 4, the students have learnt so much already. The past 2 weeks, we have been learning about data, how to collect data and how to analyse different data sets. For one of the lessons, students created a bioglyph. Geetansh Gulati explains the instructions on how to draw a bioglyph. Sophia Willoughby explained her own bioglyph.

How to create a Bioglyph    Written by Geetansh

In Year 4 we are learning about the topic Data ( info to be collected in graphs [ e.g. pie graphs, line graphs etc. ] ) for Maths we created a Bioglyph picture. If you’re a boy, do a circular face. If you’re a girl, do an oval face. If your hair is blonde, do a straight line. If your hair is black, do a curly line. If your hair is brunette, do a zigzagging line. If your hair is red, then do a circle line. The number of strands indicates the month of birth date. Long strands indicate long hair, while short strands represent short hair. If your eyes are green, they should be looking right. If your eyes are blue, they should be looking left. If your eyes are brown, they should be looking down. If your eyes are hazel, they should be looking up. An oval eye shape indicates glasses or contacts. A circular shape indicates perfect vision. The number of freckles indicates the day of birth. The number of eyelashes indicates the number of pets. If you ride the bus to school, you have a triangular nose. If you ride in a car to school, your nose should be shaped like an upside down triangle. If you ride a bicycle to school, you have a circular nose. If you walk to school, do a square nose. If you are on a sports team (e.g. tennis, badminton, basketball, soccer etc.), do a circular charm on your necklace. If you are a member of a band or chorus, do a rectangular charm on your necklace. If you are a member of a club/group, you do a star-shaped charm on your necklace. If no charms, no necklace. The right ear indicates brother(s). The left ear indicates sister(s). Use dots in the ear to associate the number of siblings. Dots in the upper ear indicate older sibling(s) (brother(s) or sister(s)). Dots in the lower ear refer to younger sibling(s) (brother(s) or sister(s)). If you love science, then put a smile on your face. If you think science is ok, do a very straight mouth. If you think science is scary, do a zigzagging mouth. If you don”t like science, you frown on your face. If you like vanilla ice cream, you do circular cheeks. If you like chocolate ice cream, you do semicircular cheeks. If you like other flavors of icecream (e.g. strawberry; blueberry; pineapple etc.), you do right angled cheeks. If your favorite color is red, do half loop eyebrows. 

My  bioglyph 

In year 4 we are learning about the topic data for maths so we drew a Bioglyph. For the face shape if you are a male you draw a circle head but if you are a female you draw a oval head. Hair color blonde is straight so I have blonde her so I did yellow straight lines. Eye color my eye color is blue so I do blue eyes looking to the left. Eyebrows - my favorite color is blue so I am going to have squiggly eyebrows. Nose - I ride in a car so my nose is an upside down triangle. My necklace is a circle because I'm on a sports team. My ears have two because I have a brother and a sister so I have two ears. Mouth - I have a smile because I love science. Cheeks so i have a circle because I like vanilla ice cream. Freckles -  my freckles are 10 because my birthday is on march10 eyelashes i have 4 pets so i have 4 eyelashes.
