Today Primary 4 organised a ‘Be Bright, Be Seen’ day to encourage everyone to make sure they can be seen by road users during the dark nights and mornings.

In the past few weeks, we have been working on narrative writing and have been focussing on the beginning and middle part of our stories. Some of us have written some very exciting stories and we can wait to continue them next week.

Here are a few snaps from this week 📷

All children have been sent home with a new spelling grid today containing 12 new words for them to practise reading and spelling. These are words that your child needs to work on and each child has different words personal to them.

Children have also been given their next ‘National Numeracy’ homework. Lots of you have been leaving fab comments on the challenges and the children seem to be really enjoying them!

The next challenge will be due to be returned on 29.11.21. 

Reminder, your child’s ‘Big Talk’ project will also be due on this date (details on previous post below). 

Thanks again for your continued support,

Miss McLean

Happy Friday!

What a super day in Primary 4.

We started off our day with lots of quality work as we continued working on our novel study ‘The Twits’. We are all enjoying the book very much and are becoming so independent with our comprehension strategies.

We then had some fun Children In Need themed maths activities, before spending the afternoon learning how to draw Pudsey, listening to a Children In Need story and getting arty as we made our own bunting.

Check our some of our pics from today!

Star of The Day 

Monday – Eilidh for showing great sportsmanship and determination during football. ⚽️

Tuesday – Harry for writing a quality ‘beginning’ of his story. ✏️

Wednesday – Lenore for excellent number work 📊

Thursday – For looking after our classroom 💓

Friday – Olly for wonderful literacy work. 📚

P4 Talking Homework

Title:  Countries

You have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5 minute talk about a country of your choice. The presentation should be as detailed as possible and could include information about the climate, capital city, popular food, population, flag, famous buildings/landmarks any other interesting details. You can use the internet or books to find out facts about your chosen country. You could also use other ideas to enhance your talk e.g. PowerPoint (saved pen-drive), drawings, diagrams or items from home.

You should practise your talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. You may want to use notes or prompt cards to help you stay on track.

Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 29^th November.

I can’t wait to hear your talks!

This week primary 4 have had another busy week full of new learning.

We have been developing our football skills such as dribbling and passing and have really enjoyed playing some mini games in P.E.

We also got the chance to get creative using pointillism to paint whilst we learned about Georges Seurat as our ‘Artist of The Week’.

This week we also had our final visit from Occupational Therapist Janie Richie who has been visiting our class to talk about Mental Health & well-being. We have had some fab discussions about our feelings, coping strategies and have really enjoyed the sessions!

Check out some pictures from this week & don’t forget to have a look at the ‘Stars of The Day’ this week.

Here is the link to our ‘School Street Scotland’ video.

Primary 4 were absolutely fab and really got across all the benefits of our School Street.

What a bunch of stars!

National Numeracy Homework

You will find this week’s challenge inside your P4’s scrapbook if it has been returned or inside a poly pocket.

It was great to see the completed challenges from last week , have a look at some examples below!

A wee reminder that this homework is due by Friday 12th November. It would be great to see some comments about how your child got on with the challenge.

What did you enjoy? Did you find anything a challenge? How did you feel about completing the challenge with your family? 

Spelling

If your child has learned the majority of the words on their grid, this will be updated and sent home this week. Please keep an eye out for these.

Thanks again for your continued support, it is very much appreciated.

We have made it to the end of another VERY busy week in Primary 4.

Today we learned all about bonfire night, the story of Guy Fawkes & most importantly how to keep ourselves and others safe as we  enjoy fireworks night.

P4 have also been learning lots about COP26 that is taking place in Glasgow. We managed to indentify  some famous buildings in Glasgow  & then decided to get creative and make some beautiful firework artwork inspired by the Glasgow skyline.

check out our work ☺️
