Primary 4B would like to tell you about what we have been doing.

Ramzi said we have been learning about mummification. We mummified some tomatoes. We had to wash them, cut them and scoop out the insides and then we filled them with baking powder and salt. Within a week they shrunk and shrivelled up because the salt took all the water out. Rhys really enjoyed making canopic jars out of clay for the tomatoes to go in.

We have really enjoyed singing with NYCOS. Mrs De Leun has been teaching us rhythm and beats and we have been learning lots of new songs. Tristan’s favourite song is the coca cola song!

Oliver has enjoyed racing in PE. We have been keeping fit doing lots of 6 minute laps. Jacob liked doing the stations with shuttle runs, skipping and burpees! We have been practising backwards passing in rugby- Iemanja has nailed it! We are taking part in a world cup rugby competition!

We have also been learning about Holland. Lewis knows they are famous for Tulips and cheese! We are looking forward to learning about different European countries too.

We really enjoyed watching the bike stunt crew at our school. They had to jump over a really high pole. We thought its was really good. They did an actual wheely up on top of the van!!!

We are really enjoying our ‘run a marathon challenge’. Mrs Wells and Mrs Henderson are so impressed with how fit we are getting!

We are really enjoying researching about African Animals in class. We are in the process of making a fact file book.

We hope you are making good progress with your class presentations about your African subject.

We really enjoyed doing our school show, It was good fun. We liked the Hansel and Gretel story and we loved doing all the songs and dancing.

We have been back to normal this week. We have been learning about onomatopoeia. We created our own superheroes and used words like Kapow! Boom! and Zap!

Mrs Wells has been super impressed with our numeracy. We have been challenging ourselves working with bigger numbers.

We had a real author into our school last week- Michelle Sloan. She told us about her book – The Animal Adventure Club. She told us about how she builds a story with characters and a setting. We have been doing the same in our writing. This week we created a character profile of Ursula the sea witch and used amazing similis in our writing. Rhys described Ursula as heavy as an Anvil.
