P4 Newsletter term 3

On Friday 5th December, our Digital Leaders Oscar and Fraser came to teach up how to make the song Jingle Bells using the Micro-bits!  It was quite a tricky process but Fraser and Oscar were great teachers!  We look forward to them coming back to teach us something else soon.

Primary 4 have been learning some Scottish country dancing during PE.  So far they have been learning the Virginia Reel and the Gay Gordons.  They have danced with enthusiasm and lots of smiles on their faces!

Both Primary 4 classes have been working very hard and enjoyed learning all the songs and poems for their Christmas performance at Heathhall Community Centre!  The Friendship group were delighted and thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Parents were also invited along to school to see the performance.  Well done to all the primary fours in P4 and P4/5.

During our learning about the local community, P4 have been exploring the differences between rural and urban communities.  They worked in teams to create these environments…look at the results!

Primary 4 have been developing their problem solving skills and resilience through Coding.  We had lots of fun and hit a few challenges as we worked our way through ‘RodoCodo’.

On Wednesday 28th May, we visited Drumlanrig Castle.  We had a guided tour around many rooms of the castle.  It was beautiful!

We then had an early picnic lunch and spent the afternoon in the adventure playground and rolling down the hills in the gardens – this was definitely a highlight!!

Thank you to the staff at Drumlanrig Castle and our parent helpers for coming along.  We all had a great day out.

This week we started digging up our garden plot and clearing away all the weeds and litter.  It was hard work!  But a lovely, productive afternoon spent in the sunshine.

Have a look at some of the weeds we pulled up!
