Busy First Week Back for P4- Ecotastic!!!

1 Comment

For Eco week we have been designing a sleeve for a bottle of hot water to stop the heat from coming out. We worked in home teams to decide on the materials and how to wrap it. We took the temperature every ten minutes and recorded the results.

We learned how to make paper. Brooke thought that it was fun making it and getting her hands messy!

P4 and P4/5 had their Easter assembly. Isabel thought that we taught the parents about the meaning of Easter and what happened after the story that we told from Darren. Amy and Adam handed over a cheque for £200 to Ms Barr for Jak’s Den Charity. This was money that the class raised through our Christmas enterprise work. Zoe thought that the assembly was a huge success and so did everybody else.

We had an Eco Wildlife Art competition. There were lots of super entries. Matthew from P4 won one of the prizes. Well done Matthew. We are very proud of you.

Pupils planned, selected appropriate materials and worked as a team to decide how to best wrap bottle.

Then they took the temperature of the bottle of water every ten minutes and recorded this.

We then shared results as a class and decided which material made the best sleeve and why.

Literature Circle Illustrator Task

1 Comment

P4 were set a homework challenge as part of their Literature Circle for Reading to create some kind of illustration to present to their group and to explain how it linked to their group novel.

Pupils could choose from a cartoon, character map, storyboard, 3D model, colour/mood chart….or something else of their choice! Their task was to be creative!

Look at the fab results….

Well done P4!

P4 Write Their Own Growth Mindset Statements

Leave a comment

In Language this week P4 have been learning how an author uses statements, questions and exclamation marks to create interest when reading. We used our knowledge of this to write our own Growth Mindset statements. The challenge was to include at least one statement, one question and one exclamation mark. Here are some of them below….

 

Mistakes are good! I can always learn more. Learning is good. I can’t do this….YET! I keep trying. Did you know this means I have a Growth Mindset?

By Jack and Coben

 

A Growth Mindset is when you never give up. Do you have a Growth Mindset? I can’t do it YET!

By Zoe and Alfie

 

Do you give up easily? Why do you give up? Never give up! Always add a YET!

By Carlos and Josh

P4 update

This week we had our Burns competition. Laura and Zoe represented our class and we are very proud of them.

In maths we have been learning our 8x table and we liked listening to the 8x table rap. We have been multiplying a 2 digit number by a single digit number and we are starting to get the hang of it now. Zoe and Brooke think that we need to practise more and do our homework on this for next week.

Carlos really liked writing his story about a knight. We had to keep the story going and keep the characters going too. Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad did lots of different things. Laura wrote a super story where Sir Lancelot married the princess and they lived happily ever after.

Morgan took 2 days to do her learning pit poster but she thinks it was worth it.
