WOW! P4 have been very busy over the last couple of weeks making products for the craft fair. We have been learning about how to price items and about how a business works. We had some super ideas and the children have been working in their business groups to make, display and sell their products.

We were so busy at the craft fair with parents, grandparents and friends buying all our products that we forgot to take some pictures.

This one shows how well it went though…

SOLD OUT!

 

Some of the items for sale were:

Thank you to all that came and supported our Craft Fair

Today we went to the Easterbrook to see Cinderella. We had a great time and loved watching the characters sing and dance.  We even had some parents on the stage for some audience participation.

Thanks to Parent Council for our interval snacks.

 

It’s behind you…

 

 

We have been working on improving our library this past year and although there is still some way to go to get it completely finished we think we have done a good job so far. Everyone has been using the library much more and its a cool place to read and choose books. Thanks to the Parent Council for their help in buying new shelves and adding to our choice of books.

Here’s a look round our new library:

 

We think it’s colourful and inviting. Each class has added something to brighten up the walls and even tell us about books they would recommend.

 

Thank you to everyone who handed in an extreme reading photo. There are some super entries. Yesterday the Library Committee looked at all the entries and chose their winning entries.

We have made a fantastic display with all the entries.

These are the winners chosen by the library committee. All winners received a book token.

Well Done!!

P4 have been working with Jim Thompson from QOS to learn about making good choices in our lives and about health and nutrition. We have also been learning and improving our skills in football. Its been great fun! We still have 2 weeks left and we are looking forward to improving our game and finding out more about how we can improve ourselves too.

S6 students from St Joseph’s College have been working with Active Schools to take responsibility for the planning and organising of activities to help with fitness. We were invited across to use their gym hall and take part in the activities they have organised. We had lots of fun and the S6 students organised really fun games and activities for us to try. We are going for the next 4 weeks, we are excited to see what other activities they have organised for us.

Thank you to the Parent Council for a fab Halloween party. We had lots of fun dookin for apples and guising round the doors. We had a monster mash dance off and a skeleton relay too.

 

P 4 had a challenge to make a wind turbine. We got to show our work off to P3 and Nursery(am) and they all thought we had done a fantastic job!! It was really good to share our learning with others in the school.

 

Well done P4 (and parents who helped too)
