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!

P3/4 – Gymnastics

We started our new block of PE today. We are focusing on gymnastics this term. Today we have been discussing the importance of warming up and stretching, being safe and being aware of others.

We learnt the 5 basic shapes – straight, tuck, straddle, pike and star.  Everyone did such a fantastic job that we were able to try some more advanced shapes – the dish, arch, front support and back support.  Pupils worked with a partner and gave each other feedback on their body positioning to help them improve.

If any local businesses or families would still like to donate prizes, these would be more than welcome (please contact the school to do so).
