Term 3 in Primary 4 has got off to a very busy start.
We have been working on developing our writing skills and focussed on writing instructions. One of the pieces of writing we completed was How To Take Care of a Penguin. We then added some art work to support our writing.
We have now moved on to persuasive writing and one of the pieces of writing involved us designing our own super gadget. We had to think about the different features of our gadget and then complete a piece of writing persuading people to buy our gadget. Our writing had to include facts and opinions.
In maths we are continuing to learn our times tables and the division facts of these tables. We are also working on time and area. We went outside to calculate the area of different objects we can find in nature.
This term we have been learning about Robert Burns. We have learnt about his life and some of the poems and songs he wrote. We wrote out part of My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose and then made a picture with red roses. We have looked at different Scots words and created a pop art picture with these. We also learnt how to draw and paint tartan patterns.
We also finished some work on looking at festivals from other world religions.
In P.E we have been working on our tennis skills and trying to improve our stamina when running the daily mile.
In Health and Wellbeing we have been looking at the positive qualities we all possess and shared the positive qualities which our classmates have.
We are very lucky this term that Feis Rois are coming into the school to teach us about Scottish music and we have been playing instruments and learning some Scots songs.
In Skills Academy we have been working on food and nutrition and have been thinking about how to create a healthy balance diet.
Tuesday 8th February was Internet Safety Day and we learnt about how to stay safe when using the internet. Our Digital Leaders, Will and Abigail talked to use about how we should behave when we are online.
It has been a really busy term so far and we’re only half way through!
