We have been on our first outdoor excursion!  We went to the village and took the opportunity to sketch some of the houses and inn. We were taking note of the details such as drain pipes, chimneys and if the windows were in line or strange places. This work is to build the children’s awareness of houses to help them build a display in school which has been inspired by Laura Sayers’ visit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On our return journey the children spotted berries, only one knew they were blackberries.  After discussion and confirmation they were safe some of the children tucked in to a quick snack!  However, close by there were also elderberries, I informed the children these were not so tasty and were best for the birds.

In maths the children are learning to break down times table questions to what they know, and to understand word problems. We have begun to explore what a legend is through work on the Dragon Slayer.

The children loved their first science lesson with Mrs Fraser on micro-organisms, and could tell me all about what they had learned. Well done P4.
