In science this week we have been learning about condensation. Condensation is the process when water vapour cools down and turns back into a liquid. To find out more about this we did an experiment. We put hot water in a beaker and then we put cling-film on top of the beaker. Then we put ice on top of the beaker. As the steam from the hot water rose upwards it got cooled down by the ice. This then made it turn back into little drops of water. This is called condensation.

Succot Assembly
This week we celebrated Succot and it was our turn to do the Succot assembly. We did a play about rain coming into the Succah. It was very fun and we enjoyed doing it. Our family and friends were invited.
Going Into The Succah
All the classes got to go into the Succah. On Thursday we got to go into it. We got juice and a biscuit and we sang lots of songs. It was a lovely sunny day and it was very nice to go in.

Rights Respecting Play
A theatre company called Hopscotch came to perform a show that taught us about our rights. The show was very funny and we laughed at all the funny parts. It was full of good songs that taught us about SHANARRI.
Last week, Primary 4 entered the Sumdog National competition against other schools in the UK.In the competition we had 1000 questions to answer. There was 299 classes taking part and WE CAME 7th!!!!! 
In Sumdog, you have to answer maths questions but it is actually really fun because you get to choose which game you want to play and you can also play against other children in the class or in the world.
The most popular game in the class is, ‘Soccer and Disguise.’
If you want to try it out, go to www.sumdog.com. If you don’t have an account you can click on the ‘try Sumdog’ tab.
Primary 4 have been doing gymnastics during their P.E lessons.
We have been practising different rolls. The rolls we have been learning are: forward rolls, backward rolls, the teddy bear roll, log roll, tuck roll, the seal roll and one group created a roll called the split roll.
The most popular roll in the class is the ‘seal roll'(lie on your back with bent legs and arms straight behind your head).
The least popular was the log roll because it is very easy and boring!
During P.E we have been talking a lot about our core muscles. To help us improve our core muscles, we have been learning different moves:
1. The bridge
2. The straddle (put your legs in a ‘V’ shape and try to touch your toes)
3. Putting our bodies into letter shapes.
Ciao for now!

In Primary 4, we have a new class novel, called Matilda.
Matilda is about a little girl who is very special because she can do lots of things at a very young age. She has some mean parents and a brother who don’t care about her.
Matilda is a very intelligent child, at the age of 4 she could read. It is amazing how a 4 year old child could visit the library herself.
In class, we all made posters to describe the characters of the story. The characters were: Matilda, Mrs Wormwood(Matilda’s mother), Mr Wormwood(Matilda’s father) and Mrs Phelps.
We had to write an adjective to describe the character and back up our ideas with a quote from the book. Once we had written this on our post-it, we stuck it onto the poster.
Matilda is a great book, why don’t you try reading it?

Welcome to Electric Fun!
Primary 4 are going to show you what we have been learning in Science this week.
At the beginning of the week, we did some research on the computer which helped us to learn a little bit more about electricity. We visited http://www.hyperstaffs.info/science/work/child/main.html and play some games on this website.
Later on in the week, we were pretending to be scientists by doing a science experiment with electricity.
During this experiment, we had to make a circuit using: 1 x light bulb, 1 x light bulb holder, 1 battery and 3/4 x wires. We tried using different materials (e.g. ruler, pencil, 10p/2p coin, metal and plastic spoon, a nail and tin foil.) in between the circuit to check if the light bulb would go on. These special materials were called insulators and conductors.
An insulator means that the electricity won’t flow whereas a conductor lets the electricity flow round the circuit.
Before we started our experiment, we had to predict if the materials would turn on the light bulb or not.
Once we tested out the various materials, to see if the light bulb would turn on, we had to write our results into a table.
Goodbye for now.
See you next week!
