Well after weeks of hard work and looking after and caring for our caterpillars, they have been released outside as butterflies. We invited P3/4, P5/4, P5, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. McBride to come watch as we released our beautiful butterflies into the wild.

We told everyone what we did for our enterprise, how we looked after and cared for our caterpillars and then butterflies before releasing them. We all loved showing our beautiful butterflies and wriggly worms to the other classes and enjoyed seeing the butterflies fly off in to their new habitats.

On Monday we put our caterpillars chrysalises into our butterfly net (habitat). Mr. Paterson put the worms into the wormery. Thank you to Miller’s Fruit Shop for getting us the worms.

They have made tracks in the soil. We didn’t see the worms because it was too light so we covered the wormery with a cloth so it was dark enough for the worms.

We are all looking forward to seeing our caterpillars evolve into butterflies and seeing the worms wriggle about in the amazing wormery Mr.Thompson made for us. We have had an amazing time so far.

This week Primary 4 have been working hard and learning all about measuring. We have been measuring with rulers and metre sticks. We all got to measure a classmate to see how tall they are and had a go at some measuring games online. We really do love maths in Primary 4!

Recently Primary 4 went on a trip to Motherwell Heritage Centre to learn even more about The Romans. Gillian our helper talked to us and let us try on togas, roman soldier uniforms and we even got to see real artefacts from Roman Baths and houses. We all had a fantastic time and loved learning all about the Romans.

As we approach the end of the term, Primary 4 have made Roman shields and we went outside to make formations and protected our Centurion.

P4 have been learning about The Romans and how they lived. In our co-operative groups, we have built our very own Roman rooms. The building process might have looked a mess but we all worked hard to build our very own Roman rooms out of recycled materials.

So what can we say. An elf came to stay with us in Primary 4 bringing sweets, fun and mess all the way from the North Pole. He came to see if all the fuss about Primary 4 was true! If Primary 4 were really the best and a class full of good boys and girls. He has reported to Santa and we think he will be happy! Happier than Mr. Paterson and Mrs. Fazzi every time the elf had made a mess! He leaves us tonight to return to the North Pole for the final time to speak to Santa. We will miss Elf and wish him a Merry Christmas and say a massive thank you  to him for being part of our class these last couple of weeks.

Mrs. Fazzi and I would like to wish all the boys and girls and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing everyone return refreshed and ready to learn.

On Friday, we had great fun in our base where we did a variety of Halloween activities. We made Witches Hats which we quickly ate, wrote some spooky stories and made some terrifying ghosts! We played games and pulled some scary poses.
