WAU
Our new theme is ‘Through the Eyes of a Child’. This is a fun and interesting theme for term 2.
P4 will be learning about children in different countries; their language, culture and homes. We will have the opportunity to do some research on the Ipads and in the library. We will be able to write poems and creative stories about how other children’s lives compare to a typical child from Ballymena!
We will also learn about children in World War 2 and how they were affected by the war. We will think especially about evacuee children and their experiences during the war.
