The children thoroughly enjoyed being scientists at their recent Sentinus workshop, when they investigated acids and alkalis from the kitchen and tested foodstuffs with iodine to discover which ones contained starch. It’s obvious that we have some budding scientists in P4.

It was lovely to see so many children dress up as their favourite book characters today. The costumes were fab as were the paper plate book characters as you can see from our photos. Special congratulations go to Willy Wonka aka Kajetan, who won ‘Best Dressed’ and Katie whose paper plate piglet came in first place.

This week we have been working on a letter writing task in our Literacy lessons. We wrote letters to some very special people, learnt how to address envelopes and stick stamps on (in the correct place). We then headed off on a short walk to post our letters in the nearest postbox. The children were so excited to do this and we hope some special ladies get a lovely surprise before the end of the week!

Orla from Young Enterprise visited us this week to talk to us about Our Community. We explored issues such as what makes up our community, how it is funded and wants and needs within it. We then had a go at designing our own communities. We really enjoyed learning about this topic.

Well done to our Stars of the Week and Mathletics certificate winners. A special word of congratulations to Ana-Maria who won the GTBG raffle this term. She chose a paint set and just look at her fabulous painting of the Blitz.

P4 enjoyed a fantastic and very informative visit from Hannah from the WW2 Museum in Belfast. It was great to hear more about life in Northern Ireland during 1939-1945 and to look at some of the objects that she brought with her.

We travelled to Presentation PS this week to meet us with our friends once again. We started with ‘Find a Friend Bingo’ before heading to the classroom to learn about the experiences of Evacuees in WW2. The children ‘packed’ their suitcases, made Evacuee figures and listened to music from the Glenn Millar Band. We finished off with a parachute game. We have enjoyed our Shared Education sessions this term and look forward to meeting up with our new friends again in Term 3.
