In P4 we absolutely LOVE watching our daily episode of Newsround. It is an excellent way to learn about and make sense of the world around us in an age appropriate way (and there are always lots of cute animals, too!).

This week in the news we learned about the importance of parks and how they boost the health and wellbeing of children. We learned about how some children don’t have a local park and felt very lucky for our park and all the greenspace we have in Catrine.

The news segment also got our creative juices flowing and we got the chance to design our own dream play parks. Check out the work in progress below.

It sounds like we all had a lovely Easter break.

We have been getting back into the swing of things this week, continuing our learning about fractions in maths, finishing our novel study and finding out about ‘Earth Day’.

We have also been trying to make the most of the nice weather by getting outside and learning how to play rounders. We all absolutely loved it and can’t wait to play again!

Check out some snaps from our first week back 😊📷

 

On Monday some of our very confident and brave Junior Road Safety Officers took to the stage in front of the whole school at assembly. We reminded everyone of the ‘School Street’ rules and presented our PowerPoint.

 

We decided to start the Easter fun a little early this year. We learned lots about Easter traditions and discovered that some of us hadn’t had the chance to roll our eggs down a hill before. So on Thursday, that is egg-xcatly what we did!

We carefully painted our eggs in class and then took them to the nursery hill to roll them. What a lot of fun!

Here is a video of our eggs rolling down the hill!

 

This week we were also getting our entries ready for the whole school  ‘Design an Egg’ competition. Check out our designs.

On Friday. we enjoyed lots of activities arranged by P7.

 

After all that fun, it was time to come inside and relax and sample some hot cross buns.

 

We were almost ready to head home when Miss McLean played an April Fool’s joke on us. She told us that the grass cutters couldn’t make it and WE would have to cut the grass ourselves! We all believed her and got to work straight away. Miss McLean found it very funny. We were all relieved when we found out it was just a joke!

 

 

HAPPY EASTER!
