Hi from 3rd & 4th Classes
We are doing some really exciting and educational activities this year. Recently we did some fun and challenging experiments for Science Week. We made slime, volcanoes, rainbow rain and rockets. We did car tricks involving forces, popped the balloon…(or did we) and used a plastic bottle to blow up a balloon! We had a lot of fun.
We love PE. Currently we are learning some Line Dancing to tunes such as Cotton Eyed Joe and Wagon Wheel. We are also learning about Gymnastics. We are focussing on step sequences, weight bearing on various body parts, rolls and small group routines. We also have Soccer skills with Andy this term. We will be very fit!
In SESE we are learning all about cold region habitats, animal life processes and polar exploration. We had great fun using our creative skills to make dioramas of the Tundra and Taiga area around the Arctic. In English we wrote reports about an animal of our choice.
We like to learn about other cultures. Currently we are studying Ancient China and the Chinese New Year traditions. In Art we are making dragons and lanterns.
Our school is named after St Brigid. We are learning about her life and legend. We studied weaving as part of the fabric and fibre module in Art. We are illustrating what her cloak may have looked like. It is a fun activity and relaxing to do.
Every week we spend some time practising maths via the internet! We use Mathletics to develop our knowledge on various mathematical topics.
