This week has been another fun and exciting one in Primary 4.

Our maths this week has been a series of activities to make sure we are confident in using our column method when adding. We consolidated all the new knowledge we learned last week.

In literacy this week, we have had a fun week learning dictionary skills, reading our class novel, learning about our new word boost words and consolidating the ‘ay’ spelling pattern we have been focussing on. We have been looking at poetry, we finished our performance poetry performance of ‘the fight of the year’ and also looked at the sound collector poem, where we identified sounds which we hear in our lives that we can collect.

We have been lucky enough to have 2 sessions of NYCOS this week and the children have loved it. This was our last week of NYCOS and the kids will definitely miss their weekly sessions with Mrs De Luen.

On Tuesday, we all had lots of fun dressed up for Halloween and enjoyed a well deserved break from hard work with some fun Halloween games and activities.

We have started looking at castles to begin our new topic the magic castle, the children discussed all of the parts of the outside of a castle and we labelled a diagram of a castle.

On Wednesday we attended mass for All Saints Day. We talked about what all saints day was and had a lovely session thinking of ways in which we could become saints.

Aayush’s highlight of the week this week was PE, he enjoyed when we played basketball.

Haadiya’s highlight of the week with week was our performance poetry. She enjoyed practising and performing it.

Well done to our hot choclate winner Nicolas!

Well done to our secret student winner Anthony!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday for another week of hard work and fun!
