Primary 4 have been reading about the welfare of three ponies in our book Pennycross Ponies.
We have also learned how to write an instructional leaflet on How to take care of a specific animal. The wide range of pets was fascinating, we had the expected cats and dogs but also a degu, tarantula, tortoise and even a dairy cow. Everyone was able to write clear commands using their expert knowledge of their animal.
There was a bit of role play with my stable and horses from R.S. , Z.T., A.McL, H.S. and H.N.
We have had a wonderful week.
Primary 4 have had a busy week finding out facts about the Ancient Egyptians. We researched Pharaohs and designed our own fabulous headdresses. We also read many non- fiction books and found out how to use an index and a table of contents properly. We took notes and presented our facts to the class.
In addition to this we were able to read hieroglyphics and decodemessages. Look at our fabulous designs.
Z.B. is creating 3D golden tabs to make her design unique.
I issued a letter recently to give Primary 4 pupils a little bit of information about me. I hoped this would help everyone feel comfortable coming back to school.
I have attached the letter below if anyone would like to read it again.
Every pupil also wrote a letter back to me which was wonderful as I could quickly learn about their interests and personalities. They also completed the Behind the Mask task like my sample one below. These are now on display outside of the classroom.
We all enjoyed doing this creative task.
