P4S have recently been learning how to write more descriptively in their writing. In pairs, we had to describe a setting while thinking about sights, smells, sounds, feelings and actions. We also made sure to add lots of adjectives and some figurative language like similes. Our descriptions were put into an AI image generator to visualize our settings!

In class, we create our own comic books and redesigned the front cover to our class novel, The Wild Robot. We were also able to squeeze in some outdoor reading time on the terrace.
Happy World Book Day!
Happy Halloween from all of P4S!
We had a fun day of pretending that we were surviving in a zombie apocalypse. We had to use out problem solving skills to escape the research facility, work as a team to pack our survival backpack, and finally create posters to describe what the zombies look like so the public know what to look out for!
In the midst of it all, we also made some Oreo cookie spiders! What would Halloween be without some spooky snacks. We ended our instructional writing block of learning last week by writing instructions for how to make the cookies.
For the past few weeks, P4S have been learning about place value – the basic foundation of mathematics on top of which all other concepts are built! Understanding place value is crucial for grasping more advanced math concepts. The key things they have been learning are:
