To celebrate Earth Day, P3/4 spend some time outside. We planted sunflower seeds. We have also been learning about time so we used natural materials to make clocks!
In the afternoon, we switched off the lights and all the electronics. During this time, we discussed how the “earth is in our hands” and we have to look after it. We identified ways we can help look after and protect our planet.
P3/4 were so excited to receive replies from our Pen-Pal letters in Spain! We loved reading all about our new friends!
We have been learning about the lungs and explored the movement of air in and out of our bodies.
We had lots of fun playing a game learning about apostrophes for contractions. Each learner was given a card and then they had to race around the class to find their “contraction twin” – 1 card had the contraction and 1 card had the full form.
We are reading Flat Stanley as our class novel. During the story, Stanley gets posted to his friend in California.
We have joined up with a school in Spain and are going to write to a Year 3 class as pen pals.
Everyone wrote an introductory letter about themselves to their new pen pal and created a “Flat me” to send alongside their letters.
Excitement levels were high today as we walked to the post box to post our letters. We can’t wait to receive our responses from Spain!
We have been learning about the brain and its functions.
We made a paper maché brain and identified the different parts of the brain. We used coloured tissue paper to distinguish the different lobes and their functions.
When we start a new topic/IDL, we like to complete a KWL (what you KNOW, what you WANT to know and what you have LEARNT).
Today, the class logged into Glow, open their emails and used the link sent by Mrs Conetta to a KWL Padlet on My Body. It is like an online post-it notice board that updates in real-time! Everyone was excited to post on the Padlet and read everyone else’s posts about the body.
We will revisit the Padlet and add what we have learnt at the end of the topic.
As part of our Scottish fortnight, P3/4 are learning about different Scottish Inventors. Today we learnt about John Logie Baird who invented the first TV.
After learning about his life and creating a timeline of significant events, we worked in groups to create our own mini TVs!
P3/4 have enjoyed Book Week Scotland.
We have loved having visitors in to our classroom to read to us – thank you to P7 pupils, parents and author, Hannah Willow.
We thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘My Police on Patrol’ and meeting the kids officers with their car and police horses!
P3 pupils had a great morning with their families completing activities and receiving their Read, Write, Count bags.
P4 had fun making origami bookmarks.
The mobile library visited us this week too.

Today during ICT, we were learning about the keys on the keyboard and basic features within Word.
Ask us about the shift key, the enter/return key and space bar.
We had to find the capital letters on the keyboard to type the alphabet in lower case, then use the shift key to make the letters capital. We also changed the font, the font size and colour of our spelling words which we typed into the document.
