Following our work on the colour wheel, room 13 then used the primary colours to make secondary colours and created a lovely art of display showing their names.
Some pictures of fourth class working on our fundamental movement skill which is running! We worked on walking, jogging, running and sprinting, played some games and ended our lesson with relay races! We were lucky with the great weather!
Room 13 had great fun using ipads to research some information on their local area.
Fourth class were having fun, exploring with colour! Our first task was to make a colour wheel using the primary colours. Our second task was to make the colour wheel introducing the secondary colours. We enjoyed mixing the primary colours to make new colours.

A whole class read is an essential part of the primary school classroom and contributes to a positive, fun and exciting classroom environment!
Reading can be a very pleasurable experience; but it also helps to develop the mind and improve our critical thinking skills.
