4th class worked very hard on projects in November. Each project group could choose any topic with a History, Geography or Science theme. We had a wide variety of topics – The Solar System, Portugal, Poland, Ancient Egypt, Greece, U.S.A., Volcanoes, Ireland, The Body and the Irish Famine to name a few!  We put our projects out on display. Each group also gave a short project presentation to our class and Ms Burke’s class.

We celebrated Hallowe’en in Room 4 by making some food for our Hallowe’en party and playing Hallowe’en games. We made skeleton bones, satsuma pumpkins, banana ghosts, spooky punch and wriggly jelly worms. We played bobbing for apples, which was great fun. The class also created some spooky spells and painted spooky pictures to add to the Hallowe’en magic.  Check out our photos.

We spent a month in term 1 working with clay. We looked at the work of clay artists for inspiration. We made a clay tile first. Then we made a clay pot using the coil technique. We learned how to make slip- this works like glue and ensures bits of our pots don’t fall off when they dry!

Have a look at our 2-D Shape Scarecrows, 2-D Shape Foldable and Fraction Pizzas. We love Maths in Room 4!
