Viking Shields

As part of our Viking topic we have been learning about the type of armour and weapons they used. We then set about researching designs for our own shields.

We though about the shapes we could use to make our designs eye catching and detailed.  We then used paint and markers to give them some color...on afraid you'll have to wait till our Viking Feast to see the finished products though!!

More spelling practice

We have been busy using hamma beads to help us practice our spelling words today. It was trickier than we expected it to be!

Spelling practice

Class four had great fun practicing their spelling words in a different way! We smoothed out shaving foam then printed letters on top to spell our spelling words for this week.

Visit from the School Nurses

Class four had a visit from the School Nurses last week.  We found out about head lice and hand washing.  We talked about why both were important for our health. 

We used glitter to show how a cough can spread to each others bodies and equipment around the classroom. 

We then put special UV gel on our hands.  We sung happy birthday twice whilst washing our hands. Then we put our hands under a special light to see how well we had washed our hands. 

Class 4's trip

On Friday 10th October class 4 headed into Kirkwall to visit the King Street Dental Clinic, The Orkney Library and Tesco.  We learnt lots of different things about how to keep our Bodies Healthy. 

We had our teeth checked by the dental nurses and found out why it is so important to brush our teeth regularly. We also had a peedie shot of practicing to brush our teeth using some teddies! 

Then we headed to the Orkney Library to find books on the human body.  We also got to have a peek in the back of the library at the storage areas! 

We got ourselves comfy and enjoyed reading some books before heading to Tesco. 

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Tesco filled with fruit, vegetables and healthy soup. 

Laura then took us around various parts of the shop so we could see where the healthy foods for our bodies were located.

We even got a sneak preview of the storage area here too...but it was freezing in the fridge!!

Class four had a fantastic trip and would like to thank all the people in the local community who showed us around their businesses.

Gangsta Granny activities

After finishing our class novel Gangsta Granny class four took part in some activities related to the novel. We were set a challenge to make a new mobility scooter for granny and some new outfits for Ben's dance competition.  We had great fun using our imaginations!

Taste buds

Class four have been learning how taste buds work. We tried various different foods with our eyes closed. We had to think carefully about the taste and texture each food had.
