Last Monday we went to the Kelpies and Helix Park for our class trip.  We really enjoyed our day and we loved having our lunch outside and playing at the park.  Our favourite part of the day was when we got ice creams before coming home on the bus.

Last week we started our Health and Fitness 3 week block.  So far we have been learning about different types of healthy foods.  We have written some poetry with a health and wellbeing topic and today we have started to write a book review which we have to share with the class next week.

Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had our transition days when we met our new teacher.  Our new P5 teacher is our current P4 teacher – Miss Henderson.  We are so excited to spend another year learning with Miss Henderson.  As we are staying in the same classroom we spent some time talking and planning about how we want our P5 classroom to look and what reward systems we would like in place.  We are so excited about moving up into Primary 5!

This week we have our annual Windyknowe’s Got Talent competition and Ready Steady Cook to look forward to and next week we have our P4 Sports Day.

Primary 4s have had a fantastic start to Term 4.  We have really been enjoying our ‘Unsinkable Ship’ topic and have created some lovely pieces of art of the Titanic.  Our most recent art task this week was to create a picture of the Titanic using the pointillism technique.  Our Titanic ships looked amazing!

We recently had a taster session from Destination Judo and it was so much fun.

We also had some visitors to our school from France and they participated in our Vertical Learning day.

We are fast approaching our Primary 2-4 show and we are working hard on our songs.  We can’t wait to show off our amazing talents and look forward to seeing there.

In Primary 4s we have started our Titanic Topic (The Unsinkable Ship) and we have been receiving secret missions which we have had to complete in class.  We have received 6 missions so far and completed them all in class.

We have created a fantastic Titanic display and have shown how the three different classes of passengers would have travelled by creating a diorama.
