This week we enjoyed class talks by Emily, Rayen, Ela, Aryan, Guy and Hope.
Louie – I liked Guy’s touch and feel on the chain mail.
Ela – I liked Emily’s PowerPoint. I liked how she had notes to help her and the screen had everything else on it.
Emily – Rayen did really well with his reading on his talk.
Aryan – I liked Ela’s talk as she had a good model and the quiz was also good.
Dani – I liked Aryan’s talk because he had a lot of information about the Viking longships.
Hayley – I liked Hope’s talk because she was loud and clear.

We wrote Viking diaries this week thinking about daily life in Viking times. We found out that the Vikings only had 2 meals a day, breakfast and dinner – no lunch! The children and the adults worked very hard on the farmsteads looking after the animals and growing the crops. They didn’t have a lot of time for fun or relaxation but when they did have a bit of time off, they played hnefatafl, with long ships, nought and crosses, the men and boys wrestled and the adults enjoyed stories and songs around the hearth – party time!

In numeracy with Mrs Mackenzie we are learning to use the bus stop method to divide. In maths with Mrs Collings we are learning about compass points and using these to follow directions. We used our knowledge of compass points in the playground, first of all with Mrs Collings giving us instructions and then we gave our partner instructions to move.

In P.E. we made our final preparations for the benchball festival on Tuesday. We are looking forward to competing against other P4 classes.

Our pupil of the week was Jay for being polite and having good manners.

Our table of the week is to be confirmed…….
