Mime is when you don’t talk but use your body.  It was really fun.  I can’t wait for next week’s Drama lesson with Julie and Louise (and Mrs Brodie). – Lois

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 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

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

11.2.22 Reflections in P4

This week in P4 we learned the bus stop method for division, we thought about our support network for our mental health and created hot air balloons to share this. In poetry, we created rhyming poems which were quite funny and some were a little silly! In P.E. we developed skills in gymnastics and badminton. Here are some of our thoughts on this week’s learning;

Lewis “The bust stop method was challenging but we all persevered.”

Lois ” The hot air balloons make us respect our families and you can show your unique personality through your design.”

Sevinc “Sharing your feelings in writing is a better way to express yourself.”

Sushanth “We were improving hitting, aiming and returning skills in badminton. We learned to hold the racquet correctly…it was like shaking a person’s hand.”

To finish the week, we made magic flowers that open when they float in water! Look out for the messages inside.

Happy holiday weekend, everyone.
