Term One

Mighty Oaks:   4th Class Red have been taking part in the Mighty Oaks Public Speaking programme and have been learning all the necessary skills needed in order to be a good storyteller. The children have been really enjoying writing and telling stories. 

Halloween Celebrations:  4th Red took part in a number of events to celebrate Halloween before the midterm break. The class took part in a Halloween quiz, a local field trip to St Finian's Church and the annual Esker Halloween parade. The week was finished off with a Halloween party to celebrate the excellent work done during the term. 

Say Yes to Languages:  The children have been taking part in Spanish classes with Marie Terese this term as part of the ‘Say Yes to Languages’ programme. The children have enjoyed hands-on Spanish activities and have been learning useful Spanish phrases. 

Learn Together Assembly:  The children led a Learn Together Assembly about the Value of Respect. The performance included poetry, singing, dancing, acting and art. Our performance is posted on our website if you would like to see it. A big well done to all the children for their excellent participation!
​
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:  The children really enjoyed our novel for this term ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ by Roald Dahl. The children had some excellent opinions and thoughts about the classic story. Our learning about chocolate didn’t stop there. The children enjoyed a ‘History of Chocolate' project, made chocolate biscuit cake in science, and enjoyed an end of term treat of hot chocolate and biscuits.
