Panto – Scunner Who Stole Christmas

The Scunner Who Stole Christmas

 

Gaiety Theatre Characters, Dame Hylda and Jock the Joker visited the school on 16th  December and engaged the children in a short performance which was video and send to the Gaiety.  We will be one of the five schools who appear in the finale episode of the panto performance of the Scunner who Stole Christmas.

The Kingdom of Ayrshire and Arran has been cursed by Dourina the Soorfaced Sorceress – she’s stolen the Pantomime Recipe Book and cancelled Christmas. Only joy, togetherness and adventure can conquer Dourina’s evil plan and save the day – but with Princess Neat and Prince Tidy keeping their distance; how can Christmas ever be saved? Can Fairy Handwash remember the magic recipe and find the ingredients she needs in our community to save the Kingdom? Can Dame Hylda Rerrterr, behave on Tour? And will Jock the Joker ever crack a one-liner we approve of?

The children have watched episodes 1-3 in school so please use the link below to watch the final 2 episodes at home on Wednesday and Thursday.

Term 2

Science

Primary 4 have been busy learning all about the water cycle in science this term. We really enjoyed making a water cycle in a bag to observe the different stages of the water cycle. P4 can tell you all about evaporation, condensation and precipitation!

Outdoor Learning

It was a cold and windy day but Primary 4 still had an amazing time at Culzean doing some outdoor learning. We did a scavenger hunt on the beach and had lots of fun at the park!

Children in Need

It was a very cold and wet day for Miss Pollock but all of the boys and girls had a great time soaking the teacher for Children in Need. Well done Primary 4!

Talk for Writing

Primary 4 have been learning the finding tale ‘Adventures at Sandy Cove’ in term 2. We have created a story map and actions to help us to retell the story. Now we are learning how to build suspense to keep our reader HOOKED on our story! Check back here for some super finding tales…

Numeracy

We have been focussing on data handling this term in P4. We have been gathering information and displaying it in different ways. P4 can now interpret and display data on bar graphs, pictograms, Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. P4 have also been busy learning the 3, 6 and 9 times tables. They can show you how to use a bar model for multiplication and division…WOW!

Children in Need – Soak the Teacher! 💦
