We have been practising our rhythms with Mrs Lyall. Today, we played a circle game with the drumsticks. We had a lovely time for our last afternoon. Happy holidays everyone!
Literacy – Roman Reports
We have been using spidergrams to do some research on the Romans. We found lots of books in the school Library to help us! After the holidays we will be using our research to write a report about Roman life. Look out for updates!
British Science Week
Today we were showing the class our Science projects for British Science Week. We showed some of our projects to Mrs Tees as well. The ones that were most popular were Make it Fly and the Journey Sticks. Dillon even found a fox toe bone to add to his journey stick! We got nice comments from our peers in the class.
Thank you for bringing in your projects. – Douglas

Literacy – Paired Presentations
This week we have been working on paired presentations. We had to find a non-fiction book from the school Library. We sat in our pairs and wrote a presentation together in our Writing Jotters. It was hard for us to memorise it so that we could look at our audience. Some of us tried to glance at our jotters to remember what we were saying.
I can’t wait till we do the next presentation! – Liya
Art – Sketching Gavin’s bike
Today at school we brought Gavin’s bike into the classroom to sketch. We had to use pastels , pencils, fineliners and charcoal. We had to use A4 paper to sketch the bike in different positions. It was hard from some angles but easier from others. It was amazing seeing all the different ideas. Thanks Gavin for letting us borrow your bike!
Artistic skills in P4c are amazing – Charlie

More Fitness Routines
Today we finished demonstrating our fitness routines for our own class. We’ve got another couple of weeks to perfect them and then we’ll be teaching them to P4a and P4b.
We hope the other classes have fun when they get to do it with us! – Douglas
Science Week with Mr Russell
This morning we did a Science experiment with Mr Russell. We had to create a chemical reaction using warm water, food colouring, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. When we mixed them together we created a gas. The gas made the bags POP!
It was really exciting seeing the bag pop! – Rose
P4 STEM Challenge – British Science Week
Some pictures from our Challenge. We had to build a marble run using cardboard struts. The marble has to take 60 seconds to reach the bottom. We had to check our marbles fitted the struts.
Our Fitness Routines
We were trying to create moves that fit with the beat. We had to make sure that we chose moves most of us could do.
We used moves like burpees, windmills, spinning, punching to the side, star jumps and jumping.
We had to work with our group and make up our own routines to share with the class.
In a few weeks time we are going to teach the other P4 classes our routines.
Space Fun Run
We had to crawl under a net and some people got stuck! We had to jump off trampolines and springboards.
We had to answer tricky Science questions like “Is there a winter on Mars?” and “How many planets are in the solar system?”
The Sports Leaders helped us round the course and counted the number of laps.
I can’t wait until we do the fun run outside! – Laura
