Term 2 in Primary 4

Primary 4 have been very busy so far this term.

We practised for our skipathon and raised lots of money. Some of us were really good at skipping and some of us had to try really hard. We enjoy skipping at break and lunch time now!

For Children in Need we took part in the Joe Wicks workout. We were allowed 3 ‘Yes’ questions for the teacher so we got to watch a movie with a snack. We also were allowed to come dressed as we pleased.

We have been learning to use Coding. We put a code into the mice and Botleys to help them reach a target.

We made felt pouches in Skills Academy. We found it really fun and interesting but parts of it were tricky.

 

Algorithms in P4/5

We have been learning all about algorithms.

We wrote an algorithm to create a crazy creature. We then created algorithms to code the mice and Botleys. After that we moved on to creating an algorithm in groups in order to move us all along a grid. Now we are creating an algorithm to teach the class so we can all dance to a song!

Mice and Botleys!

The children have been enjoying learning all about algorithms and coding.

The Parent Council recently helped to finance the purchase of some new digital technology resources. We have been using these in all the classes throughout the school.

The children are having great fun operating the new Mice and Botleys! They are developing their skills in coding as well as developing their ability to follow directions and writing instructions.
