This afternoon Primary 4 enjoyed an afternoon full of Scottish fun!
We learned about famous Scottish baker Thomas Tunnock and got to enjoy some famous Tunnock’s teacakes and caramel wafers. We also sampled some delicious shortbread and washed it all down with some tasty Irn Bru.
We enjoyed ourselves listening to some Scottish music and some of us even had a wee boogie in class!
This week we have been learning about all thing Scottish from the life of Robert Burns, Nessie, Scots Language & Food and Farming. We made some beautiful artwork inspired by Scottish artist Steven Brown.
Some of us also recited our Scot Poem ‘Dino’s Cafe’ by Mattew Fitt confidently in front of the rest of the class.
Enjoy some pictures of our week and a class rendition of our poem.

Primary 7
Mrs Schendel has had a fantastic week with P4 and we have been very busy!
In numeracy we have been working on quick recall of the 3, 6 and 9 times tables facts. We have been using the grid method to multiply two digit numbers by 3, with some of us even challenging ourselves to multiplying 3 digits.
In literacy, as part of our Scotland topic, we have been looking at setting and characters using a clip from the film Brave. We wrote character profiles for Merida using lots of super adjectives.
We have also had lots of fun learning to play the glockenspiels! We have learned about notes on a stave and the number of beats in a bar and in one week we have learned to play Twinkle Twinkl Little Star. Have a listen to our great efforts below.
This week we have been continuing our learning about multiplication. We have been working on the ‘Grid Method’ to solve 2 digit by 1 digit calculations. Ask us about the method!
We have also been finishing creating our fabulous books & we cant wait to show them off when they are complete!
In spelling, we consolidated our knowledge of the all of ways to make the ‘oo’ sound such as ue, u-e, ew and u ✏️📚
We also got to take part in some super art activities inspired by Scottish Artist ‘Steven Brown’, play some strategy games and enjoyed the fresh air on a walk to the park. 🌳
