We started our PE lessons with Mr Fry and we were all very impressed with the size of our new gym hall. In PE we were learning new ball and racket skills.

We had some very important visitors join us from our partner school in Israel they came to chat us about our new school and how impressed they were.

We got a new Torah and had an assembly with Rabbi Ruben and some other special visitors who had helped raised money for the Torah.

We have started a new class novel Matilda by Roald Dahl. On Tuesday with Miss Nisbet we wrote a diary entry as Matilda. We had to use the word ‘I’, thought of good openers, used our ‘WOW’ words to make the entry interesting.

With Mrs Grubb we have been reading more Matilda and completing character studies and discussing how we would describe the characters and justifying our answers using examples from the text.

We are still working to get our classroom the way we want it. First we started to make our class charter which will show what rights we have and how we will make sure that we get these and help others to achieve them. We also made our ‘helping hands’ so that we can start being responsible and having different jobs in the class.

We think we are all settling in to Primary 4 well and are enjoying being part of the upper school.
