This week in P4A<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Research Area :<\/p>\n

We are really enjoying our research area and have been independently using the laptops and Ipads to research different elements of Roman life.\u00a0 We have made fact cards using lovely pens and any really interesting facts are added to the facts of the week display.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Roman Pottery:<\/p>\n

We all had great fun making pots using saltdough.\u00a0 We used tools to inscribe Roman patterns on the sides and have left the pots to airdry.\u00a0 Next week we are going to paint the pots.\u00a0 We are all super proud of the pots we have made.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Fairtrade:<\/p>\n

As part of Fairtrade Fortnight, we investigated the journey of cacao beans and how fairtrade helps to ensure that farmers receive a fair income for their beans.\u00a0 We were also surprised to learn that fairtrade companies help to fund healthcare, schools and clean water in the villages where cacao farmers live and work.\u00a0 We made posters to encourage people to choose fairtrade chocolate when they get to buy a special treat and talked about how we could make this choice when we are at the shops.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

World Book Day:<\/p>\n

We had great fun on world book day, where every time the bell rang, we stopped what we were doing and read our favourite book.\u00a0 We all took a book token home in our bags that we can swap for a free book!\u00a0 We are excited about making our spoons into book characters and can’t wait to share our fantastic creations.\u00a0 Next week we have lots of book celebration activities happening and are very excited about them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First Communion<\/p>\n

As part of our First Communion preparation, the boys and girls who are making their first communion this year discussed our memories of the sacrament of reconciliation.\u00a0 We had our own service of reconciliation where we remembered how important it is to say sorry for things we have done wrong.\u00a0 We compared these wrongs to stones, thinking about how guilt and shame weigh us down, just like carrying around a pile of heavy stones.\u00a0 We remembered how saying sorry lightens us of this heavy pile and cleanses us as people by placing the stones into clean water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our hot chocolate winner this week is Akshaj.\u00a0 Well done and keep up the good work!<\/p>\n

We have had a great week in P4 and look forward to next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
