P4 have finished their Space topic by making junk models that are out of this world! We have been very impressed by the creativity shown in reusing old materials to make rockets, satellites, astronauts and solar systems! These models will be on display in the school foyer from Wednesday 15th of November.
P4 have enjoyed lots of opportunities for Outdoor Learning this term. Today we consolidated telling the time one hour earlier and one hour later by creating our own clocks in the playground. Here are some photos. Outdoor learning is our current major topic as an Eco School.
P4 Room 5 enjoyed Christmas Jumper Day so much they decided to create miniature versions of themselves wearing festive jumpers.
P4 Room 5 have enjoyed using the new outdoor learning equipment as well as learning all about fires.
P4 Room 5 have enjoyed working in their class bubble have loved combining their space topic with outdoor learning.
Last week P4 finished off their WW2 topic with their V E Day celebrations! We had a great day, skipping, playing old games, singing some of the songs from that time and even using enjoying some rationed chocolate and sweets! Take a look at some of our great evacuee outfits. We also enjoyed a visit from Gillian Spence, Mrs McKeown’s granny who lived just outside London during the war. She shared her memories of rationing, the air raid shelters and being evacuated.
P4 had a great day on Wednesday on their trip to Castle Ward. They went back in time to May 1945 the day after the war was over and met different characters including Agnes the land girl, Polly the Cook and Sadie the Nursery maid. They learnt about life for Margaret and John the evacuees who were evacuated to Castle Ward during the war. They planted beans as part of the ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign, played with old toys in the nursery, packed the evacuee’s suitcase and came across some usual war time recipes in the kitchen including vinegar cake and carrot cookies! It was a fantastic day out and we would like to say a big thank you to all the parent volunteers who came along! ~
