This week P4 have continued to work on procedural writing. We are able to identify and use features of this kind of writing such as bullet points, headings, subheadings, time connectives and ‘bossy’ verbs.

Check out some of our work below.

We have also continued to work on our novel study ‘The Last Wolf’ and our ‘Bug Club’ books.

As the JRSO, we are responsible for encouraging road safety and helping to keep everyone safe. This week we learned about being safe while cycling and the importance of wearing a helmet. We made some posters to put around the school as a reminder to others.

This week we have been continuing our novel study ‘The Last Wolf’. We are getting really good at looking for clues in the text to answer inferential questions.

We also decided to use our novel study to inspire some artwork and drew some very detailed wolves. 🐺

 We also used the story ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ as the inspiration for newspaper report writing and produced some quality work.

This week was also ‘Science Week’ and we decided to follow on from our work on volcanoes last week, and conduct another science experiment.

This time we made SLIME!

We carefully collected our equipment and followed the method accurately and were able to make some super, stretchy slime!

This week we put the finishing touches to our Paper Mache Volcanoes. We think they looked awesome! 

When they were finished drying, we got to conduct an experiment. We used bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and red food colouring to cause a chemical reaction and make our volcanoes ‘erupt’. We were amazed and afterwards were able to  write a quality piece of procedural writing about our experiment.

Recently, Primary 4 have been asking lots of questions about Ukraine and have been discussing between themselves lots of things they have heard at home or on the news.  We decided to watch Newsround this week to answer some of our questions. We found out that the sunflower is the National flower of Ukraine and decided to make some sunflower inspired artwork. We think they will make  a beautiful display.

Finally, we would like to share our VIPs for this week and some of the ‘Catrine Compliments’ they received.
