Today we tested each other on our spelling words using the game Noughts and Crosses. If you correctly spell the word, you add a nought or a cross to the board. The Blue spelling group played Noughts and Crosses with dictated sentences. Hopefully we will get 6/6 in our spelling quiz on Friday!
P4 have had a great week with lots of visitors! We have had visits from Gill, who is a midwife, Lynn, who is a nurse, Keiran, who is a football coach and Derek, who is a deputy manager at Nolan Seafoods. We have learnt about what each job entails and the different skills needed. We have learnt that Maths is part of a lot of jobs and good communication skills. We even got to see fish, learn how to find our pulse and listen to one our classmate’s heart on a sonic aid. Thank you to all our visitors for coming in and for answering our many questions!
On Wednesday we celebrated the end of our Viking topic by having a Viking feast, planned and researched by the P4s. We ate food that would have been available to the Vikings and we told sagas and sang Viking songs. We had a great afternoon!
On Friday 24th of February, P4 did an assembly about the Vikings. In the assembly there were two daughters, two sons, Viking men, Viking women, monks, listeners and saga tellers. It all starts when a father tells his sons, “Well my sons, say goodbye to your sisters, life will NEVER be the same again!” The father is taking his sons a-Viking. The two sons were happy but the two sisters weren’t happy. The Vikings sailed on a longship to Lindisfarne to raid for the first time. After the raid, they enjoyed themselves by listening to stories told by saga tellers by the fire. After the stories the Viking woman chatted about their lives. “I hate doing all the work,” said one. “I agree,” said another, “but I like being in charge of the money.” After that some different Vikings told us some facts about Vikings and words we still use today for place names. To finish the show we did a song called You Can’t Forget About the Vikings.
