P4 have been busy as budding news production teams!  As part of our topic on "Life In the Recent Past" looking at WW2, we investigated the incidents of the Belfast Blitz.  We researched the facts online and from literature. Everyone wrote their own report.  We then looked at news reports today and how these are put together with a production team.  In our groups we worked hard to produce a news script telling the main events of the Belfast Blitz.  When we were happy with our news scripts, we recorded these on our iPads using the green screen app.  We then learned how videos can be modified putting in backgrounds and news photos of the time.  With a little bit of help from our super ICT team and the iMovie app, we added an old newsreel introduction video and our news reports were complete.  We learned a lot, so did our teachers! We hope you enjoy the results!

On Tuesday a large bus of very excited P4 children and made our way to the Transport Museum in Cultra.  This was the culmination of our WAU topic on Journeys.  We enjoyed the fact that we could climb over the massive engines, spend time in the cab and look at how they were designed in an age of steam.  We learned a lot about the materials they were made from.  We compared old buses and fire engines to transport today and really enjoyed Titanica where we saw artefacts from White Star Line Company.  We enjoyed our group scavenger hunts throughout the museum, where we found different items as part of the Titanic story.  For some children this was their favourite part.  Next we made our way to the cars through the ages.  We observed sports cars from years gone by and even spotted a De Lorean from "Back to the Future" famously produced in our little country!  We even found the oldest car in the museum built in 1911. FInally we went through the museum of flight with replicas of the Wright FLyer!  A great time was had by all!

The Primary 4 children are allowed to wear their school tracksuit for their trip tomorrow.

They should also bring a packed lunch in a named plastic bag with a disposable water bottle. They may also bring a little snack in their coat pocket that they may eat on the bus as we travel to the Transport Museum.
