It’s been an incredibly busy first couple of months in P4a. We have really settled well into our class routines and established a really nice classroom ethos.

We have embraced our ‘Where in the world shall we go?’ social studies topic. As a class, we voted for our top three countries to learn about – Italy, Japan and India. Italy was a huge success with us learning about famous landmarks, famous artists and sampling some pizzas that we made in class too. They were delicious. We then moved on to learning about Japan. We enjoyed having Mr Barry, a P4a parent, come in to talk to the class about his time spent in Japan. It was really informative and we learned lots of new things. Miss Stephen made some vegetarian sushi for the class to try. Some of us loved it, some of us not so much but it was great that we tried it. We are ready to move on to learning about India and we have already requested that we learn about food, culture, clothing, music and dance and the Taj Mahal.

We have also been enjoying learning about ‘dissolving’ in Science. We have enjoyed conducting different experiments about dissolving and making observations about what we see. So far, the skittle experiment and the ‘Naked egg’ experiment which involves placing an egg in vinegar and watching the hard eggshell dissolve, have been popular.

On top of all of that, we have been learning and progressing so much in reading, writing, spelling and maths. There’s just too much to mention.

We are looking forward to seeing what the rest of this term has in store.
