Teacher's Comments

Welcome to magnificent Mandela class.

We are named after Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela (born July 18, 1918 - died December 5, 2013) was a famous South African leader and activist. He was an inspiration to all, as he fought for freedom and equality. He became the first President of South Africa on April 27th, 1994 and this was the first time everyone in South Africa, no matter what race they were, were allowed to vote.

We will be going on an exciting learning journey in Year 4, where we will demonstrate determination, perseverance and resilience to succeed like Nelson Mandela did. We will be exploring exciting projects, such as 'Potions', where we will investigate states of matter. We will be scrutinising cities in 'City Living' and we will be visiting amazing Ancient Rome in 'I am Warrior.' We will take an imaginative road trip around the USA and we will study the sturdy Saxons in 'Traders and Raiders.'

In Mandela class, we will have a positive attitude to our learning development and we will work collaboratively to enhance our learning experiences. We will show respect to everybody and we will always be kind. We will support and encourage each other in everything that we do. We will always remember that each one of us is unique and we will take pride in that. Please visit marvellous Mandela class to explore our lovely learning and to celebrate our differences.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world
