P4/3 Remembrance Day Assembly
The children presented their assembly which was a very moving service. The children talked about why we wear a poppy and what the poppy means to them personally. Well done girls and boys and a big thank you to everyone who came to our assembly!
P4/3 at gym
Today we have been putting all the skills we’ve learned into practice by playing extreme dodgeball. We self and peer assessed our work:
Kimberley : I need to pass the ball more.
Ben: I thought Tyler played well because he passed the ball lots and was good at dodging.
Scot: I was wasting energy at the start but then I became more focused.
Louisa: I rate myself 10/10 because I tried my hardest.
Well done to Aaron who won the title of man of the match for his excellent throws, passing and ability to keep his eye on the ball.
Well done to Kayla for being the most improved player.
Silent Reading – p4/3
We have been going to the school library every Thursday for the last 3 weeks. We are now professionals at being able to choose a book which is appropriate for our reading level and we are now beginning to have a preference between fiction and non-fiction books, explaining our reasons why. Some of us are also able to identify and appreciate the writing style of particular authors. Cate specifically went looking for a Roald Dahl book as she enjoys his range of books. These are the books we have personally selected this week:
Callum – Children’s World Atlas
Sam – What about the universe?
Cate – Fantastic Mr Fox
Tyler – Harry and the dinosaurs go to school
Aaron – Noisy neighbours
Max – Oh Tucker!
Abbey – Lettice
Louisa – Princess Emily and the beautiful fairy
Mackenzie – Creatures that glow
Scot – Surprise puppy!
Brendan – Keep trying little zebra
Jayden – Race for survival
Ben – Cars
Aiden – Life in a cave
Kimberley – Sabrina the teenage witch – wake-up call
Rhys – The three little pigs
Kayla Si – The longest whale song
Kayla Sw – Princess Sophia and the sparkling surprise
Miss Milne – My not so perfect life
Art in p4/3
This week in art we created the illusion of a 3D box but using different shades of paint. We looked at boxes in the classroom and noticed that they look different shades depending on where the light hits them. We started off with the darkest colour and added white paint to lighten then added more white paint to make it very light where the light landed. Our word of the day became ‘illusion’ as lots of us hadn’t heard of it before!

P4/3 STEM challenge
Brendan – We were doing a STEM challenge to make a game for a boy and his dog that both had a leg missing each. We used STEM resources and drew a plan.
Tyler – We made our own games.
Abbey – We wrote a story about a boy and his dog that were disabled because we had to think about how it would feel to be different. The story made me feel angry for the dog because THE BOY WAS BEING MEAN. I felt happy in the end because the dog encouraged him to talk to his mum and play outside.
McKenzie – The story made me feel sad, happy and angry because the boy was kicking the dog around. The boy was angry that he was given a dog with 3 legs because he didn’t want somebody like him.
Mrs Irvine – The dog taught the boy that he too can be resilient and determined to succeed and be happy despite the barriers.
P4/3 Library visit
Today we took a trip to our school library, we learned how the library books are categorised and identified fiction and non-fiction books. We chose a book to do a book review on then we identified the author, illustrator and title, and today we DID judge a book by its cover. After we reviewed our books, marking it out of 5, wrote a brief summary on it, identified the age range it was suitable for and illustrated it, we have a better idea of which books we like and dislike. We hope our book reviews will be useful to our friends.
