Science – Our Bodies – Term 1
P4S have been learning about Our Bodies. We have been writing reports about the skeleton, we have labelled the skeleton and created collages of skeletons. We have also learned the names and functions of the major organs in the body and have began using the internet to research facts about an organ of our choice.

P4 Stars – First few weeks
During our first few weeks of Primary 4 we have been getting to know our new teachers and new classmates. We have been getting used to our new classroom and have been practising our new routines.
We focussed on learning about emotions and empathy and recognising and celebrating our differences and that people can feel different emotions at different times.
Meta-skills have been discussed and we have learned and practised lots of the meta-skills through STEM challenges. Meta-skills are integrity, initiative, focusing, adapting, sense-making, critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, feeling, collaborating, communicating and leading.
We have a new class charter and voted on a gaming theme and this has helped us have a clear understanding of our rights and responsibilities to make sure we have a successful year.

October 2023 Heathhall Right Respecting School Group Video
We have worked hard to create a video about our Rights Respecting School Group and what we do. We hope you enjoy it!
Getting to Know P4
At the beginning of Term 1 we spent time getting to know each other better. We took part in team building activities, getting to know you bingo and created self portraits in a Minecraft style. To become familiar with our new classroom we did a class scavenger hunt. We shared what our hopes were for Primary 4 and created a display with our hopes on a hot air balloon.
P4 Class Charter
At the beginning of P4 we took some time to learn more about children’s rights. From our learning we chose 4 articles to focus on as a class to ensure our class is a place we can all learn. From this we created a class charter and we chose a Pokemon theme. As a class we have agreed what the children will do and what the adults will do to ensure our rights are met. We all have a responsibility to make sure our rights are met.
