WELCOME TO Prep 4
Mrs Patterson teaches Prep 4. Mrs Moody, Mr Eager and Mrs Cronin help the boys and girls in Prep 4.
Term 1
We love learning all about the world around us and we have been learning about the history of our school and how it began in the Holywood Library. We have been playing playground games from the past like Blind Man's Buff, marbles, conkers, skipping, hopscotch and leapfrog. We bring in lots of information from home and we have been asking our parents about how school differed when they were little.
We learn about many different kinds of weather – but our favourites are tornadoes, storms and all sorts of extreme weather. See some of Prep 4's storm chalk drawings below.

Prep 4 go out into the school garden to complete a range of Forest School activities each week. Did you know that 14th February is the official beginning of the nesting season, when daddy birds build nests to impress a mummy bird?

Term 2
We learn about ‘Life in the Recent Past’ and make a fabulous class museum with wonderful family artefacts to discuss and we learn about World War Two. Did you know that there was a prisoner of war camp in Jackson Road, Holywood? We love dressing as evacuees and being evacuated to Castle Ward for the day. We write and post letters to our grandparents and they write back telling us many interesting things about the past. We love dancing to the music of 1950, like ‘Rock Around the Clock’ and we invite our parents in to join in. |
Term 3 In our final term we study the topic of Journeys. We learn about explorers from the past and talk about journeys that we have been on. In Technology we build our own boats and see which of them can hold heavy weights without sinking. |
