P4/5 have completed our study of Roald Dahl’s ‘Matilda’.

Tomorrow in class, P4/5 will watch the musical adaptation of the book – ‘Matilda The Musical’ in order to complete some comparison activities.

‘Matilda The Musical’ is rated a PG. If you do not wish your child to view the movie, please contact the school office.

Thank you.

Check out some snaps taken over the past couple of weeks in our very busy classroom.

We have been focussing on our school values ‘achievement’ and ‘teamwork’.
We talked all about what it means to achieve and used ‘two stars and a wish’ to think about the goals we have already achieved and what we would like to achieve in the future.

We also learned about how both humans and animals work in teams and how we can work together to achieve more.
We created a beautiful spring ‘collaborative art’ piece that we can’t wait to display in our class.

We also continued our learning about South America and developed our map reading skills. It was a challenge but we really enjoyed it.

It may have been two short weeks but we have been VERY busy with lots of learning about money, persuasive writing and ‘Pop Art’.

P4 Talking Homework

Title:  Countries

You have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5 minute talk about a country of your choice. The presentation should be as detailed as possible and could include information about the climate, capital city, popular food, population, flag, famous buildings/landmarks any other interesting details. You can use the internet or books to find out facts about your chosen country. You could also use other ideas to enhance your talk e.g. PowerPoint (saved pen-drive), drawings, diagrams or items from home.

You should practise your talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. You may want to use notes or prompt cards to help you stay on track.

Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 22^th May.
