Another busy month in P4a, make sure you take a look at our photos on Twitter!

At the start of the month, we had a big focus on learning about COP 26. We watched lots of videos about climate change and we were sad and scared, so we decided to do something about it. We made posters and wrote inspirational speeches about how we can help to save the environment and shared them with Primary 3b at a special COP 26 summit! We learned about the importance of using renewable energy like solar, hydro and electric power. We are now going to put our words into actions!

We had an amazing day at the Christmas Fayre! There was a bouncy castle, silent disco and we even met Santa and his (REAL) reindeer!! It was so much fun! We made Christmas crackers and made reindeer food to sell at the fayre.

We have been loving our new topic Titanic! We learned how to sketch and how to create different effects using charcoal. We learned about how it was built and went on a virtual inside the Titanic to see what it was like, it was beautiful! We also learned all about how the Titanic sank and how many survivors there were. We learned about some of the real passengers on board and wrote some fantastic imaginative diary entries. We learned about the different types of passengers on board and made some eye-catching posters in groups for our wall display which even has a HUGE Titanic made out of cardboard.

In R.E. we have been focusing on remembrance during November. We have been learning about All Saints and All Souls Day and have been praying for people who have passed away. We celebrated mass with Canon Eddie and he was very impressed with our beautiful singing! We have also enjoyed learning all about St Andrew our patron saint and have started to learn a Scottish Dance called Virginia Reel.
