The summer holidays have come to an end and it is time to dust off the school bags and pencil cases and get ready for a new term in a brand new class. How exciting!
Primary 4/3 has had a very busy first week back of term. We are excited to begin our learning journey this year and continue to develop all the skills we are passionate about.
Thankfully a lot of the past Covid restrictions have been lifted and we are beginning to return to some degree of normality. We talked about the continued importance of good hand hygiene and had a competition to design a poster for the classroom. We made a fabulous effort. We agreed that all of our posters should be –
- Bright and colourful to make them eye catching
- Provide some information on why hand washing is important which is easy to read
- Have detailed illustrations
- Have a catchy slogan
Here are some examples of our wonderful work.
We have begun to read our new class novel ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’ by Andy Shepherd.
We made some predictions based on the title, front cover and the blurb. We think this is going to be a really interesting read and are very curious to discover how to grow a dragon! This got us talking about things we would like to be able to grow. We designed our own front cover and changed the title to what we would grow instead!
Finally another highlight of our first week has been creating some colourful art for our classroom. We have decided to make a ‘Wall of Fame’ to display work we are proud of and have started drawing our own self portraits to accompany our chosen pieces of work. The care and attention to detail in all of these portraits has been fabulous. Check them out!
We hope you have enjoyed a little snapshot of our first week in Primary 4/3.
