P3/4 had an eggcellent day learning all about Easter. They listened to the Easter story and then used their problem solving skills to complete the story sequence.
They also decorated their eggs and then finished the day off by completing a maths Easter egg hunt. They had to use their problem solving skills to find the answers and find the secret code.
Today P3/4 consolidated their learning of money and mental maths.
In teams the pupils had to find the scattered easter egg and solve the questions for the answer.
This week P3/4 have been advancing their skills in hockey and learning to safely control the hockey stick and ball in partners and small groups.
This is a little reminder that voting and selection for the representatives of each primary stage will take place this Wednesday (23.3.22).
P3 pupils just have to let their teacher know if they would like to be put forward as a candidate.
P4 pupils must let their teacher know and prepare a short speech which they will present in front of their class (P3/4). Pupils will have a short time to work on their speeches tomorrow (Tuesday) in class but I would recommend pupils working on them at home tonight and tomorrow night. Speeches can be as long or as short as pupils like but I recommend around 1-2 mins speaking time.
P3/4 had a wonderful day celebrating Red Nose Day by making their own red noses and also participating in a team science lego challenge. Their challenge was to build a habit for their chosen animals thinking about what type of climate the animal would live in and what resources they would require to survive.
The pupils very much enjoyed the challenge and presented some amazing ideas and finished products.
During literacy time P3/4 have been exploring and understanding the importance of the skill of visualisation when reading text.
We first discussed the term ‘visualisation’ and then pupils worked together to identify the important information within a description that could help to create a visual image in their minds.
Each group had a different short story to read and then draw a picture to represent the short story.
The pupils loved this activity and found it interesting that everyone’s drawing looked unique because we each visualise and interrupt situations differently.
P3/4 are continuing to work with money up to £20 and use their knowledge of column calculations to add and subtract different monetary values.
Today we discussed the importance of having a budget and how to calculate the total cost of items and how to calculate the remaining value of change left over.
We linked our learning to the wider world of work by becoming shoppers ourselves. Each group were given a set budget which they could spend on items from a Lidl catalogue.
Pupils completed 3 important steps:
1. Pupils selected the items they wanted to buy
2. Next they added the total cost of the items
3. Lastly they subtracted the total cost of items from their total budget to calculate how much change was left.

Today P3/4 recognised science week by learning about bees and why they are so important for our world and ourselves.
In recognising that bees play a very important roll in our survival we decided to help our bees survive by planting flowers so that they can continue to pollute our earth.
P3/4 loved being gardeners for the afternoon and planting flowers just in time to welcome our bees back for spring. 🐝
I apologize for the late response, due to technical difficulty there was a delay in putting up P3/4 homework.
P3/4 homework is now posted on our homework page for this week.
