Falcon Day Centre – Sports Day

The children in P3/4 had a wonderful afternoon at the Falcon Day Centre. We player with children from the nursery and spoke to some of the ladies from the centre. We had great fun using the parachute, playing table tennis, giant connect 4 and bowling. Thank you for inviting us along!

Turkish Delight

Last week, we worked as a class to make Turkish Delight because in our novel there was a chapter called Turkish Delight. In the story Edmund is given Turkish Delight from the Queen. The Queen had enchanted the Turkish Delight and Edmund never wanted to stop eating it.

Porridge Tasting

In class we have been retelling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Today we have got to the part in the story where Golidlocks tried the three different bowls of porridge. To make our writing fantastic we did some work on TASTING.

We used dictionaries to help match adjectives to their meanings. Then a thesaurus to find alternatives to temperature words. Afterwards we practised using different ACTION words to describe how Golidlocks ate the porridge. Finally, we got to taste some porridge!

Homopolar Motor

As part of STEM Fortnight P3/4 created Homopolar Motors. Take a look at them in action!

Milosz: “I was learning about how to use electricity.”

Louise: “I liked it because it was fun and we got to make electricity.

Renita Boyle

Primary 3/4 had a fantastic time at the library today! We met author Renita Boyle. She taught us some songs, played games and she sang us her book, Honk! Honk! Rattle! Rattle! We were also very lucky to all receive a copy this book! She challenged us to become storytellers and read this book to someone.
