This term we had planned to start our topic on Recycling however due to many other activities taking priority we decided as a class to do a shorter topic ‘Famous People’.   The children will learn about famous artists and create art inspired by these artists but they will also learn about famous people they have chosen.

We learned about Gustav and here are some of our artwork inspired by his art.

This term the children have been doing a variety of activities learning about bullying.  We have discussed how we would feel if we were getting bullied.  We have also discussed and created role plays to show how we should deal with bullies and we have also created our own poems.

This term the children in Primary 4/5 have been having fun listening to and creating their own poetry.  The children have learned how to write Haiku’s by following some rules.  They created one at the forest in pairs and again on their own about winter.

Here are a few examples:

The children enjoyed their second forest visit this year.  They have been learning all about poetry and have been writing their own poems in class.  Today they were learning about Haiku Poems and created their own in class about winter.  Fabulous work!!  Today, the children had fun creating their own Haiku’s in the forest, about the forest.  The children also played games of their choice to keep warm and in groups they also completed some outdoor maths challenges.

Primary 4/5 invited The Evergreens for a personal showing of their Titanic assembly.  The children then joined The Evergreens in class with refreshments afterwards.  It was great to see the children mingle with the ladies and chat to them about what they were learning in school.
