The 4 Times Table

Primary 4 are excellent at the 3 times table.  Time for a new challenge: Here is our 4 x table song.

Remember, we can play with our numbers – It’s Nothing New!  So that if you know 4 x 8 = 32 (Mrs Matthews favourite fact), you also know that 8 x 4 =32, and backwards:  32/4 = 8 or 32/8 = 4!!!

Now, let’s dance and learn, here we go!

The Elves are at Work

Today we started our display wall for Christmas.  We practiced, measuring, using templates, tracing and cutting.  Most of all we learned that to get the most parts from one piece of card, we need to start at an edge!

We only have one more session to finish our puppet display – can we do it in time?

Pupil of the Week: November 23, 2018

Congratulations to our pupil of the week:

Jack Quinlan

Jack gave Primary 4 a very informative talk about the oil rigs in Aberdeen.  He explained a lot about the tools, and suits.  He used a clear voice and lots of photographs and a video to help him.  He also answered all questions fully from our quality audience.  Well done, and thank you, Jack!

Hanukkah by Leah Cranham

There are a festival called Hanukkah, .Every Saturday they go to a temple but there’s something really special to them it is the menorah!  The menorah has nine candles and they light it up every day with a special oil. But one day there was an army because of the Greeks. They killed lots of people  and the broke all of the special oil.  But there is some people called the Maccabees, they were very brave  They fought the Greeks even with not a lot of people  but the Maccabees looked everywhere.  They only found one bottle so they lit it up.  It would only last for one day and it takes eight days to make more oil!  It was eight day it stayed lit, everyone was happy!!

The Story of Hanukkah

We are continuing our journey around the world to find out about different winter festivals.  This week we are learning about Hanukkah!  This year, Hannukah takes place from 2 December to 10 December.  Here is a video to share at home about this festival.
