P4 Learning Reflection – 4.3.22

I liked the drawing challenge from Authors Live on WBD.  PE was very interesting this week.  I loved the obstacle courses in Hockey.  It was fun and challenging.  – Ethan

I liked writing an information report about African Elephants.  We then wrote our own one about Fairtrade.  Some parts were hard and other parts were easy. I liked practising the maths strategies in Number Talks.  It was really fun to see how many different ways there were to figure out the answers.  I liked the empty numberline. I also liked reading James and the Giant Peach.  It was funny that the rhinoceros ate James’ Mum and Dad. – Lois

I enjoyed WBD because we got to wear our pyjamas.  I also enjoyed visiting the Discovery Den because we got to do lots of activities.  I liked learning about African Elephants and writing about them.  I really liked making lots of different shades of orange and peach in art. – Sevinc

I liked visiting the Discovery Den because I learned about fish and rocks.  We are reading James and the Giant Peach for our class novel and it’s about a boy called James.  His parents died so he has to live with his horrible aunts called Sponge and Spike.  They make him clean up all the mess and locked him in his room. – Lewis

On Monday we started to read James and the Giant Peach.  At the start it was really sad because James’ Mum and Dad were eaten by a rhino and now he has to live with his horrible aunties. – Charley

I liked visiting the Discovery Den because there were so many activities.  I liked PE because we had to hit the ball in between the cones in Hockey.  I also liked dressing in my pjs for WBD and I liked reading James and the Giant Peach. – Sam

I enjoyed visiting the Discovery Den.  My favourite activity was the Crystal Cave.  It was cool to learn that all the rocks had names and weren’t just called rocks. In PE, I enjoyed Hockey because it was really hard but fun. – Leighton

I labelled all the rocks correctly in the Crystal Cave when we visited the Discovery Den.  It won me 40 house points and I was the first person to get them all right. – Coben

I enjoyed learning about Science in the Discovery Den.  I also enjoyed reading James and the Giant Peach. – Zach

I liked learning in the Discovery Den because you get to do different activities like bird watching or coding on Scratch.  If you win in one of the activities you get 5 or 10 house points. – Sushanth

I enjoyed WBD because it was fun that I got to dress up and guess the teacher in the Masked Reader.  I also liked visiting the Discovery Den.  I liked coding on Scratch.  I also loved the bird watching and I got to make my own bird called the Science Bird. – Ziva

I liked visiting the Discovery Den because it was fun when we got to build our dream house out of K’Nex. – Solomia

I enjoyed going to the Discovery Den to do the fish pond activity. It was hard but we completed it and earned some house points. – Alister

I enjoyed the Discovery Den.  The fish pond was amazing and lots of fun. I enjoyed reading in the science corner in the DD.  I got house points for it. – Euan

I enjoyed visiting the Discovery Den.  Matching the fish was fun.  I also liked the Crystal Cave activity and it was fun to make my own bird. – Emma

I enjoyed visiting the Discovery Den.  I liked the fish pond because me and Lewis worked together to find out which fish lived in Scotland or elsewhere in the world. There was one from Japan. – James

I think the Discovery Den was good because we did Scratch and bird watching.  I also think the information reports was good because we wrote about African Elephants and we wrote Fairtrade reports as well.  We also did hockey in PE and it was fun.  We held the hockey stick and navigated the ball. – Murdo

On Wednesday we went to the Discovery Den and it was so fun because there was the Crystal Cave, bird watching, water filtration, a Scratch challenge, K’Nex building challenges, Maths Leaves, science reading den and the fish pond.  The fish pond was my favourite activity.  You had to read the information and match the fish then find out if they were from Scotland or not. – Poppy

I really liked reading James and the Giant Peach because it was about a smart boy called James.  He hated his horrible, hag-like aunties, called Aunt Sponge who was as fat as 90 cabbages and Aunt Spiker who was the opposite.  She was as thin as a stick.  I bet everyone could see her bones through her clothes.  PE was fun too.  We learned how to play hockey.  It was really, really fun to figure out how to play and everyone enjoyed it. We went into the Discovery Den and we had to match the right name of rock or stone to the right label.  K’Nex was fun because we had to make our own dream house, Maths Leaves, Scratch and bird watching.  We had to make our own bird. I imagine a Queen Bird.  This week was really fun! – Teria

I enjoyed celebrating WBD because we got to dress up as our favourite book character or you could wear your pjs.  I also enjoyed reading in the Discovery Den.  There were lots of books about science and there was one about Minecraft. – Gabriel

The Discovery Den taught me about tons of fish and where they live whether in Scotland or not.  The Crystal Cave taught me the names of crystals and rocks. – Isaac

I liked learning about what happened in James and the Giant Peach.  There were these little green things that make your life better.  The little green things got to a peach tree and the peach grew bigger and bigger. – Leo
