Another week in P4/5

This week we have had fun learning about how to become a knight.  We used the internet to research the different roles that pages, squires and knights performed.  We have  not found any women who were knights in the castles, but we do know that some women were given knighthoods and took the title of Dame.

We also did some more handball in PE and we can see improvements since we started.  We are getting better at all our handball skills.

In maths we are continuing to work our way through fractions, which Emma is finding very easy.  Caitlyn has also been very successful this week.

To improve our strategies for learning we looked at the learning pit and made posters.  We now have more skills and confidence when tackling new and challenging tasks.

Dojo of the week was Katie!

We made houses for the three little pigs.

This week, we work in teams to build a house for the Three Little Pigs.  The houses needed to be strong so the wolf couldn’t blow them down.

We made our houses out of cardboard, paper and Lego bricks.

Then on Friday, we pretended that a hairdryer was the Big Bad Wolf and we tried to blow all the the houses down.

Some of the houses DIDN’T fall down.

We also learnt how to tell the time to o’clock and we made watches and clocks !!
