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.

P3/4 Creating Magnetic Maze Games
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!
P3/4 Skills Academy – Exploring Magnetism
As part of their work on Forces during Skills Academy, Primary 3/4 explored magnetism and carried out their own investigations.
P3/4 Skills Academy – Forces and Friction
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!

Rights Respecting Learning in P3/4
We have had a busy start to Primary 3/4!
Rights Respecting Learning – Articles 7 & 8
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.
P3/4 Class Charter
Primary 3/4 collaborated to create our own Class Charter.
After discussion, pupils decided to focus on the following rights for our charter: right to learn, right to be safe, right to be heard, right to play and the right to make friends.
Pupils chose a Lego theme to display our class charter. We added how pupils (Rights Holders) can respect these rights and how adults (Duty Bearers) can respect and protect these rights.
