Performance Poems and Skits

4HR is hard at work practicing for our performance. Here are some of the poems and songs we need to be practicing.

You've go to search for the hero inside yourself,

Search for the secrets you hide.

Search for the hero inside yourself

Until you find the key to your life

Choral Reading From Mem Fox’s Book: “Whoever You Are”

Little One,

Whoever you are,

Wherever you are,

There are little ones just like you,

All over the world

(repeat 2 times)

Performance Song

Grade 4 is getting ready to shine! Part of our performance will be an acoustic version of "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston.

Our adapted lyrics have been sent home, but here they are for easy reference.

We believe the children are your future

Teach us well and let us lead the way

Show us all the beauty we possess inside

Give us a sense of pride to make it easier

Let the children's laughter remind you how you used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero

People need someone to look up to

I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs

A lonely place to be

And so I learned to depend on me

[Chorus:]

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows

If I fail, if I succeed

At least I'll live as I believe

No matter what they take from me

They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all

Is happening to me

I found the greatest love of all

Inside of me

The greatest love of all

Is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself

It is the greatest love of all

Because the greatest love of all

Is happening to me

I found the greatest love of all

Inside of me

The greatest love of all

Is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself

It is the greatest love of all

Learning about our Intelligences

4HR has been learning about What Kind of Smart Are You? First Ms. Shand came in and taught us about the different kinds of smarts. We learned that there are 8 kinds!

Our next step is to investigate more into one kind of smart. That way we can share our knowledge with others! We are going to use the MISO model to help us find out more.

M - media, like books, movies, magazines, newspapers

I - interviews with an expert

S - surveys

O - observations

Using information from these four sources, 4HR will report back on what we learn about our smarts, during our Grade 4 performance!
