Fourth Class-Term 1 2023/24

We have been working very hard in 4th class in Term 1. As part of Local History we had a very enjoyable field trip to the Meehambee Dolmen. We learnt about the history of the area and why the people chose this area to settle. We have learnt all about the lungs, The Celts and the counties of Ireland in SESE. We have also created some beautiful Autumnal and Halloween art. We enjoyed using pastels, paint and fabric and fibre to create our pieces. Maths week was really fun and we completed lots of Maths challenges, solved puzzles and even solved some Halloween word problems!

Term 3

In 4th class we have really enjoyed participating in STEAM. We brainstormed the possible solutions/ alternatives to fuel-powered vehicles. Next we sketched ideas and then made sustainable boats. We tested the buoyancy of the boats in the water before making any changes. 

We have been learning about Ireland in the 18th Century in History. We wrote about the Penal Laws and the life and achievements of Daniel O’Connell.

We painted beautiful summer meadows in Art. We used a range of different items to paint such as pipe cleaners, lollipop sticks and our fingers for the flowers. 

We participated in a scavenger hunt in PE as part of our outdoor and adventure strand. It was great fun!

Term 2 Fourth Class

This term 4th class were learning about Italy in Geography. In our pods we completed group projects about Italy. We each had a role within the group and a specific Italian topic to research. We completed informative and eye-catching projects and presented our class mates with an oral report summarising our research.

We were focusing on procedural writing in English. We made some mouth-watering pizzas in our pods and wrote up the recipe as part of our procedural writing. We had specific headings and language we had to include and used checklists to self-assess our work. Of course, we got to eat the pizzas too!

In Art, we were looking at the print-making strand. We watched a video online and used paper and scissors to create our own custom made stencils. We then used sponges to create prints using these stencils.
