Year 4 KSSR Homework/Projects

Here are some homework or project that the children had done in 2014 for their Year 4 and Year 1 KSSR.

Due to the new subject in Year 4 that replaces Kemahiran Hidup called Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi and Reka Bentuk dan Teknologi (TMK/RBT), there are more projects to be completed. This is a model which she assembled at school and brought home to play.

Another example, her class was requested to build a mock periscope in groups. However since Cherry cannot make it for the weekend meet up time for her group, she ended up being allocated work as artist/decorator to decorate the finished product... anyway this project is kind of dangerous for 10 years old students as they are required to cut mirrors to shape, insert the mirror into a toothpaste box, then decorate the periscope.

Would prefer them to do it in school rather than group in other kids' houses, like the model which she assembled at school.

And a funny project teaching them how to sew. Mom doesn't sew, so she gets to do at school like this haha...

Stitching :) 

TMK has more computer based projects so she and classmates contribute to a file sending back and forth. They are trying to teach the students how to use powerpoint and insert/edit pictures.

Even Pendidikan Moral had them busy with projects....

As for Science, she did a few mini projects like looking for all types of leaves around the housing area, big leaves, small leaves, different type of roots etc. And teaching the students about cubes.

I think they watched more videos/presentations that teacher had done in class.

As for the little boy just starting Year 1 in primary school, he has more projects now that teachers are more familiar with KSSR style. Here is a drawing for English, and a Merdeka craft assembled as cap.

A more significant topic I noticed for Year 4 KSSR Kesihatan is all about kids' body changes and growing up. At first I was thinking it seemed a little early to teach them this topic but actually there are quite a lot of the kids going through changes from 9 years old onwards (Year 3). Even though it did not really help those who are early developers, it reached out to those who are around the average age of development (around 10 years old).
