Primary 3/4 pupils developed a range of skills for learning, life and work while running their own Enterprise. They shared ideas, listened and responded to others, reached agreements, used their creativity, planned, designed, evaluated, improved, problem-solved, worked independently and with others. They created persuasive posters, took responsibility for collecting and recording money received and were excited to deliver the Tartan Friends to their new homes. Fantastic skills everyone!
Primary 3/4 pupils shared their learning about the Phases of the Moon by creating their own stop-motion animations. Pupils worked collaboratively and used their creativity to create informative animations. Fantastic work everyone!
Primary 3/4 pupils applied their measuring skills during Outdoor Learning tasks linked to our IDL theme – Earth, Sun and Moon. Pupils used trundle wheels to mark distances when making their scale model of the Earth and Sun. They measured accurately with metre sticks to record the length of their shadows when making their own human sundials.
We have enjoyed visits to our local library and our local forest. Briony from Sustrans led outdoor learning tasks in the forest, where pupils spotted signs of Autumn and looked at leaf classification.
Primary 3/4 applied their knowledge and skills to create their own magnetic maze games as part of Skills Academy. Pupils planned, designed, created, evaluated and improved their games as needed. Pupils demonstrated great communication skills, collaborative working, problem-solving and creativity. Well done everyone! Younger pupils enjoyed playing a selection of our magnetic maze games, commenting on how much fun they were!
As part of their work on Forces during Skills Academy, Primary 3/4 explored magnetism and carried out their own investigations.
Primary 3/4 investigated Forces and Friction as part of Skills Academy last term. They explored pushes and pulls, carried out an investigation about how the incline of a ramp affects speed and distance and also learned about friction while carrying out their own investigation into how different surfaces affect the speed of a toy car. Great investigating everyone!
We have had a busy start to Primary 3/4!
Primary 3/4 have been learning more about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We discussed Articles 7 and 8 (Right to a name and identity) and we took part in learning singing games and French games involving our names, wrote our own wee book introducing ourselves, made our names using different materials and created our Superhero Selfie artwork.
