P4/5 Writing
How to Steal Christmas
This term we have focused on Instructional Writing.
We have written for a wide variety of purposes and learned about rhetorical questions, imperative(bossy)verbs, time openers and bullet points.
For our final piece of writing , we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss. We then wrote the instructions for stealing Christmas – Grinch Style!
We had great fun adding illustrations and warnings to our writing.
We watched The Grinch film as a reward for our ambitious writing and Mr Houston sent some sweet treats for us all.
Have a read at our fabulous work!

P4/5 Class Library Refresh
Today everyone had the chance to choose some new books for our class library.
The Reading Schools Committee sent us a box of donated books for us to have a look through and choose to restock our class library. Mrs Ross had also been to a charity shop and chosen some books for us to look through too.
Everyone found some new authors and titles to try.
We were also delighted to find that the mobile library had also listened to some of our requests and ordered in some animal books and escape room books for us to read in class.

P4/5 Football with Kilmarnock Community Coaches

P4/5 Mould Juice Lessons with GSK
Mould Juice
Did you know that penicillin was first called Mould Juice?
Did you know that Alexander Fleming was one of two Nobel Prize winners educated at Kilmarnock Academy?
Today we were lucky enough to have a science lesson deliverd by Glaxo Smith Kline.
We learned that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin after the First World War.
We carried out an experiment in class :
-
Half of the class sanitised their hands and half of the class left their hands unsantised.
-
We then all touched a piece of bread each.
-
Next we sprayed the bread with water.
-
Then we put the bread in a sealed bag and placed in a dark place in the classroom.
-
We will observe the growth over the next 2 weeks.
