P4 No Pens Wednesday
Primary 4 were learning about symmetry and how to create a symmetrical pattern. They used the 2D shapes to create there pattern and a piece of string to show where the line of symmetry was.
Primary 4 have been learning about Ancient Egypt. They used the modelling clay to mould their topical spelling words. After this they got a friend to check their spelling.
Today was No Pen’s Wednesday! P4 were very excited to learn more about dyslexia and what it means to be dyslexia friendly. We watched some videos which explained to us what dyslexia is. We spoke about how the pupils could help themselves, and also how teachers could help them achieve their educational targets!
We consolidated our spelling words by using the painting trays. We practiced spelling our words on the paint and peer assessed our shoulder-partners work.
After lunch we stretched our creative muscles and had a go at making our own Egyptian headdresses. We used paper, foil, sequence, glitter, and paper shapes to create beautiful designs.
P4 loved using the sand trays! They worked together with a friend to test each other on their topical spelling words and then had a go at sculpting a square-based pyramid.
P4 played a game of toss with their shoulder-partner to test each other on what they have learnt in their Ancient Egyptian topic. They spelt their topical spelling words and asked different questions relating to Ancient Egypt.
Science in P4
Primary 4 learnt all about the mummification process as part of their interdisciplinary topic of the Egyptians. They learnt about the history of mummification, carried out a scientific investigation and then applied what they had learnt to mummify a tomato.
The Glasgow Science Centre came to the school to do an input and workshop with the boys and girls. P4 learnt about the human body and how their body works. They carried out fun activities and loved learning about what their body can do!
Lots of thought showers were happening in P4 when they were learning all about the weather. They carried out scientific investigations into how the water cycle works and made a model of tornadoes using soapy water and a bottle!
This term P4 have been learning all about the human body. They have learnt about the different systems for the body (e.g. Respiratory, digestive etc.). They studied the human skeleton, muscles and joints. They even made their own functioning human finger to demonstrate hinged joints!
