We ere so excited to be going to Vikingar as we loved learning all about the Vikings in social studies.  We got to try on Viking clothes and then went watched a presentation about what Viking life was like. After the presentation we went to the hall of knowledge where they were facts, puzzles and computers. Thora the Viking then  took us to the Viking long house were you could try on chain armour and helmets. You could also grind oats and look at the food, we also found out they ate salmon porridge for breakfast! At the end Thora will took us to Valhalla, the Viking haven where the great one eyed Odin will speak to us about the other Viking gods Frey, Freya, Njord and Thor. Tabitha was strong enough to carry Thor`s hammer! We then spent some time at the gift shop and had some fun playing Viking games in the garden.

Primary 4 would like to thank everyone that came along to our Daffodil Tea event.   Thank you for all your donations, we managed to raise £269.08!  We hope you enjoyed our presentation, poems and songs!  We loved making the chocolate pretzels and plant pots for you all!

Primary 4 have come to school dressed up to celebrate Purim! It has been such a great day filled with many different activities. We have been in all the classrooms taking part in activities such as; mask making, dancing with Shosh, Purim puzzles and games and then Mishloach Manot bag decorating then filling it for someone in the class.  It has been such great fun, try and work out who we are dressed up as!

Primary 4 have made a start to their artwork for the new school’s feature wall. The weekly workshops take place at Williamwood High School where our primary 4 pupils work together with the primary 4 pupils from St Cadoc’s. Each week, the children focus on one section of the art work with the help of some very creative sixth year pupils.  The children have enjoyed the experience so far as they are getting to spend time in a high school’s art studio and work with the St Cadoc’s pupils.

Primary 4 have been so enthusiastic about the workshops, they have been trying extremely hard with their creations and are so excited to see the final result at the end of the six weeks.  See below for a sneak peak of what we have been working on.

Primary 4 are soon to be starting a block of forest schools which we are all excited about.  This week we worked in groups to discuss what we want to learn about when we are outside.    We have came up with some great ideas and presented them to the whole class.  We cannot wait to begin!

This week we have been learning about how to write a news script and a news report! We have been using the language that a reporter would use and using role play to act out our written scripts.  Please see some below some of our news teams.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us in our Chanukah play!  We worked so hard together on the play and were delighted to show it to all of the school, staff and to you all in the audience.  Here are some pictures of our play and our dancing.

All week we have been taking part in the sumdog challenge. We are so proud that Arjun in our class completed all the questions and he finished in 22^nd place out of all the schools.  We would also like to say well done to  everyone in our school and other East Renfreshire schools for taking part.  We really enjoyed the competition,  we found the games really fun!

Last week we all walked to the library to pick out a book for the reading challenge. The librarians were very helpful and showed us exactly where to find the books we would like and gave us some recommendations. We are planning to read our books within this month and we will then return our books and get new ones.  We are enjoying our books so far!

We have been decorating our classroom with some times tables on wall paper. It was really fun and we all worked together as a team to make sure all times tables were written. Our classroom looks very colourful now!
