P4/3 have had a great first full week back at school after being away for so long!! Mrs Morrison is proud of all the children for their attitude in class as they adapt to the changes we have had to make, well done P4/3!!

This week we have been working hard as a team to make our new classroom look very special. Together, we have designed “The Great Wall of Friendship” and identified the different qualities needed to be a good friend. Some suggestions included “be supportive to your friend, sharing is caring, look after your friend if they are upset and friendship never ends” Picture to follow on the blog next week.

The children have enjoyed outdoor P.E. and have been learning about why it is important to exercise and keep fit. The class enjoyed a range of warm up activities and especially had fun playing the bean game! Weather permitting, outdoor P.E. will take place every Wednesday and Thursday.

Today, the class enjoyed their first outdoor learning session with Mrs Dobbie. Please remember to send your child to school with appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear.

Have a good weekend and I will post again next Friday.

I totally agree with Mrs Hillan,  P.4’s have settled in really well. I feel very lucky to be their ‘Thursday/Friday’ teacher.

On Thursday and Friday we have introduced a positive behaviour strategy that is enjoyed by all. We have a ‘secret person’ chosen from all our names in a box. Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Wood are the only ones to see the name and we watch to see if the chosen child is a model pupil. If they are, the class gets 3 marbles in the jar towards our class reward and we announce the secret person  who gets a big clap and cheer.

The children have responded really well to this challenge.

Emily said ” It’s really fun. We have to try to be good for a whole day and then we find out who it was.”

Ryley said “We do it every day and find out at the end”.

Derry said “It’s fun because it’s a mystery!”.

Allysa said “The special person – it’s a secret!”.

Our class novel (for Thursday and Friday) is Black Beauty. We have practised drawing horses and researching horse facts.

 

 

This week has been super fun in our class.

Euan – “I liked using fish to order numbers to 20.”

Mark – “I loved drawing a bogey picture after beginning our new disgusting story!”

Jordon – “I liked learning about the red crayon in our new topic.”

Maddison – “I liked putting numbers to 10 in the penguin bellies.”

Vrishti – “I liked doing the alphabet.”

Max – “I enjoyed doing numbers.”

Macy Mae – “I liked writing different letters.”

Ethan – “I love the 100 song!”

Please ask us about our favourite part of our week when we come home today! We can’t wait for next week!
