Lots of fun was had during our fast-paced roll and draw game! Pupils had to roll the die, read the French mode of transport and then draw it. The winner was the person who managed to roll a 1-6 and draw each mode of transport.

We have been learning about hieroglyphics. Everyone wrote their name in hieroglyphics.
We also created our own “papyrus paper” which we will use next week to create artwork of Egyptians gods.
P3/4 – Rights Respecting School Committee Presentation
P3/4 members of the Rights Respecting Schools Committee shared their knowledge about the Global Goals and how these can link with learning within the classroom. They shared with us how we can link the Global Goals and the UNCRC Articles to our topic, The Egyptians.
P3/4 – King Tutankhamun
We have been working hard to use different sources of information to create an information sheet about King Tutankhamun. We were amazed that he became king at 9 years old. The same age as some people in our class!

We have been learning about the different social groups in ancient Egypt from the Pharaoh to the slaves. The class created a social pyramid showing the different groups, an explanation about them and some illustrations.
P3/4 – IDL/STEM Challenge
P3/4 have been learning about the importance of the River Nile to the Ancient Egyptians. They learnt that they used a device called a shaduf to help collect water from the river.
The class worked in groups to design and create their own shaduf. 
P3/4 – New IDL Topic Collaborative Working

P3/4 – Visit to Fenwick Parish Church
We were invited by Rev Kim from Fenwick Parish Church to learn about Baptism. She showed us Christening gowns, certificates and the Baptismal Register.
Some pupils brought photos to share with Rev Kim and the class of their Baptisms.
P3/4 – Earth Day
To celebrate Earth Day, P3/4 spend some time outside. We planted sunflower seeds. We have also been learning about time so we used natural materials to make clocks!
In the afternoon, we switched off the lights and all the electronics. During this time, we discussed how the “earth is in our hands” and we have to look after it. We identified ways we can help look after and protect our planet.
P3/4 – IDL
We used a range of non-fictions books about the body to find out information about the liver and the kidneys.
We used our literacy skills to use the contents and index to locate the correct page. Once we found out facts, we noted them down and then search what we had learnt with others.
We were amazed to learn that an adult’s liver in roughly the size of a rugby ball!
