The boys and girls in primary four have been discussing, and demonstrating, the importance of hand washing so we don’t spread germs and get sick.
To show how germs can spread, the children all touched a piece of bread without washing their hands. We then displayed this piece of bread against a clean piece.
Look at our results after one week of carrying out the experiment. We make sure we’re super hand washers now ;).
Primary Four are learning about Big Cats in their new interdisciplinary context, and thoroughly enjoying it.
Today, the boys and girls drew tigers freehand and then used their collage skills to create the tiger’s natural habitat around the edge. Don’t they look fabulous?
Fact(s) of the day: Did you know the Tiger lives in South – Asia?
Did you know the tiger is the heaviest, strongest and most powerful of the Big Cats?
P3/4 had great fun today when they got to spend time on the bouncy castles :). Thank you to our helpers too!
P1, P2 and P3/4 have been learning all about friendship, anti-bullying and caring for each other. In Miss Smyth’s class we were learning about how to make someone feel better about themselves :). We all worked very well together and learned lots from each other.
Children from Primary 4- 7 designing a new Snack Attack label to raise awareness for FairTrade.
Primary 4 have been working very hard all week.
The boys and girls have been learning more about the Titanic and designed the ship using Word at ICT time. We chose whether we were a 1st, 2nd or 3rd class passenger and packed a suitcase with what we would take on the maiden voyage. Our wall is looking fabulous. Don’t you agree?
We are working hard on our tables and played a new game using a beach ball. It was lots of fun and helped us learn our tables.
To finish off our week, we discussed what our ambitions are and wrote about what we want to do when we are older.
Well done, primary four, you have all worked so hard this week.
Have a well deserved, relaxing weekend.
Primary four have been learning more about the Titanic this week. We’re a big fan of Captain E. Smith, and we had a big discussion about who was to blame for the sinking of the Titanic. Seven children thought that the Captain was to blame and most children thought the officers in the Marconi room were at fault. It was a very hard decision to make.
Here are some pictures of our brilliant Captain Smith painted by the children.
