P3/4 have had a busy start to the year.
In literacy we are learning all about nouns, verbs and adjectives to help us improve our writing. We have also been doing fact files about the River Nile and are learning about Newspaper front pages to help us create one of our own.
In numeracy we have been learning the link between digits, their place and their value. We had lots of different resources to help us learn about hundreds tens and units and all worked really hard for Miss Smith.
In PE with, Mr Thomas, we have been focussing on ‘Kinaesthetic Awareness’ and ‘Respect and Tolerance’ through invasion games. We have had lots of PE stars so far this term. The Primary 4’s have also been swimming and always come back with a smile on their faces.
Also in health and wellbeing we have been exploring friendships and how we can all be good friends to each other. Miss Smith also gave us some chocolate! It wasn’t just because she was being nice though. We are practising mindfulness and had to hold one square of chocolate in our mouths for as long as we could and it was a bit strange. Definitely not how we usually eat it. In our next lesson we had to sit still like a frog. Some of us find it tricky but we are trying hard.
We have been learning about Ancient Egypt in topic. In art we used what we had learned about hieroglyphics to design a cartouche with our names on. We think they look great on the walls of our classroom.
Though it has been interesting learning about the River Nile and how people used to live thousands of years ago, we are more excited about what is coming next, mummies and pharaohs! We also have some exciting homework to do over the next couple of weeks. Miss Smith has challenged us to create an artefact for our classroom museum. We will have to use all our creativity to build something that looks like it has come from Ancient Egypt.
