Skene Square Primary 4

Primary 4 had the fantastic opportunity to link with the local community when helping to plan a park.  We were visited by Yvonne from Aberdeen City Council who brought possible plans for a park near our school.  We talked about our reactions to the plans and voted for our favourite.

We were excited to be helped out by the new Primary 7 family heads and deputes!

We have been learning about the food chain and the diet of a hedgehog.  We learned about producers, primary consumers and secondary consumers.  We then started to wonder what could come next in the food chain!  We watched a few videos to learn about tertiary consumers and became really interested in ‘decomposers’.

We’ve created our own experiment to create a ‘decomposer’ using bread.  We talked about the importance of keeping parts of our experiment the same, while making different changes too!  We are very excited to see what’s going to happen!

Here are some pictures of our bread on Day 1.

Our Circles and Squares have been using practical resources to develop their understanding of place value.  We used lots of base ten materials to create numbers.

Here we are in action!

We created bags about ourselves as our first homework task in Primary 4.  We had to choose five items that meant something to us, or items that represented us.  We even chose to decorate the bag!  Once we had completed the task, we presented them as a solo talk to the rest of the class.

We chose our favourite item from each bag to show you!

Primary 4 are focusing upon The Hodgeheg as our main topic for this term. We have been learning a lot about road safety, food chains and hedgehogs using “The Hodgeheg” by Dick King Smith.

We are looking forward to starting our blog with lots of pictures of our learning. Check back soon to see what we have been up to!
