This week, we have written a story that is set in a scary forest with a mysterious, secret door in it. We had to write a setting description and also describe the main character. We had fun thinking about the words we could use to set the scene. We have also been trying to use connectives and openers.

In Art, we drew pumpkins and used shapes and lines to make patterns in each of the sections. We used crayons in autumn colours. We cut them out and will stick them on a background of black paper with patterns in white paint.

In Numeracy, we have been rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 in 2-, 3- and 4-digit numbers.

We read ‘Aunty Planty and the Eco Warriors’ by Rachel Louisa May and learnt how we can help save our planet. We sang along to the ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ song and thought of ways we can do the 3Rs at school and at home. We also designed an eco-warrior cape!

Today, the P3s and P4s took part in sports games that the P7 House Captains had organised. It was lots of fun cheering on our houses.

In PE, we started learning about hockey and how to hold and use a hockey stick. We practised passing the ball to each other and shooting at a goal.

The P4s have been learning as a cohort about Cool in School. They have been learning how to use ‘Stop’ if they don’t like something that someone else is doing and using the 3rd ‘Stop’ as a last warning before telling an adult.
