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 – Inheritance

As part of our IDL Topic, My Body, we have been learning about inheritance and characteristics that can be inherited.

We learnt about inherited characteristics in humans, animals and plants. Lots of great discussion took place!

MONSTER INHERITANCE CHALLENGE: To explore inherited characteristics, learners chose 2 monsters and then had to identify characteristics that could be passed onto their offspring.  They then drew what the offspring could possibly look like. P3/4 excelled themselves and their monsters were ROAR-some!!


P3/4 – Pen Pals

We are reading Flat Stanley as our class novel. During the story,  Stanley gets posted to his friend in California.

We have joined up with a school in Spain and are going to write to a Year 3 class as pen pals.

Everyone wrote an introductory letter about themselves to their new pen pal and created a “Flat me” to send alongside their letters.

Excitement levels were high today as we walked to the post box to post our letters.  We can’t wait to receive our responses from Spain!
