Reading to our Hallhouse Buddies

After a very busy first week back after the holidays, we enjoyed a walk in the sunshine to Hallhouse.

The residents welcomed us again and we enjoyed sharing our new Bug Club novels with everyone.

The staff enjoyed listening too and made us all a drink of juice before our walk back to school.

Everyone always enjoys our visits and we all end up with a huge smile on our faces.

P4/5 Funky Bunnies Art

Funky Bunnies Art

We have enjoyed experimenting with different art techniques to create amazing art work for our classroom this week.

First we used felt pens to draw flowers on sugar paper. We explored different flower designs and tried out different colours to cover the paper. We then used water and paint brushes to draw out the colour from the ink to create a water colour effect for the background.
The finished results of our backgrounds looked really effective.

Next we drew zentagle patterns on our bunny templates and choose funky glasses to add to our pictures.

Our completed art work looks fantastic and has brightened up our classroom and corridor. This has been a favourite activity this week.

World Book Day

What a busy, booktastic day, with some fantastic costumes from our class.

Book Swap

First thing this morning we visited the hall to choose books from the book swap tables. Everyone was delighted with their new books and couldn’t wait to get back to class to enjoy them.

Book Scavanger Hunt

Next we followed the clues around the school to solve the book puzzles and discover the letter combination.

Ilaria was delighted to win the book prize.

Guess Who

Next we scoured the photos of staff from their childhood along with a picture of their favourite book. Everyone in p4/5 found Mrs Ross on her first day at primary school with her huge bag and copy of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

Jim was the best detective and worked out who 6 of the staff were!

The final treat before lunch was a visit frim the children’s author, Rachel McGaw. She read her story The Unicorn in the Castle and then we were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of her brand new unreleased book.
