We have a had such a whirlwind start to 2020. It’s been jam packed full of fantastic learning in all areas of the curriculum and has been a really positive start to a New Year.

We started back with a focus on New Year Resolutions. We have promised to try our hardest to play with, and interact with children in our class that we might not normally. We are trying to get to know each other better and not always rely on the same people. This links in with our new Building Resilience topic ‘Keep Connected’ where we are learning to identify the important people in our Back Up Team.

We have also started our new PE topic on Football which we are loving, even though the weather hasn’t been too kind to us.

We have also been researching the sad news of the Australian Bush Fires and are getting ready to write newspaper articles on this topic. We have also connected with Notre Dame Primary school in Glasgow and look forward to developing pen pal friendships with the children in p4/5 there. Writing with a purpose makes our writing so much more meaningful and we love getting letters in the post.

Finally, we have started our new novel study. Our novel study is ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ by Cressida Cowell. We have only read two chapters but we are loving the adventures of Hiccup and his fellow Vikings.

We will be back in a few weeks with our next update.

Miss Stephen and P4a.
