We have started our new term with lots of enthusiasm in P4 and we have worked hard this week.

In R.E, we learned all about Our Lady and we know that we should show devotion to Mary, especially during the month of October. We did this by saying the Rosary together in class and reflecting on her life. Next, we learned about the fascinating story of Mary and the Miraculous Medal. We have started to create our own Miraculous Medals to show our devotion to Mary. Watch our Blog for pictures!

We also learned how to write interesting story openings this week. Here we are sharing our exciting openings with our partners…

And of course, a new term means a new topic! Ours is ‘Space!’ We really impressed Mrs McLean with the facts we already knew about Space but there’s so much more that we want to find out.

First up this week, we learned about night and day and why it happens. It’s all to do with the Sun and the Earth! The Sun is really a giant star and it’s very, very hot! We discussed ‘hot colours’ and what the Sun might look like if it was possible to get up close to it (it’s not so don’t try it at home!). We made our own red hot Suns using paint and cling film. Messy but great fun.
