We have been exploring different rolls in gymnastics.
We also had great fun using the different apparatus to practise our jumps, rolls, balances and shapes!

P3/4 – Rights Respecting School Committee Presentation
P3/4 members of the Rights Respecting Schools Committee shared their knowledge about the Global Goals and how these can link with learning within the classroom. They shared with us how we can link the Global Goals and the UNCRC Articles to our topic, The Egyptians.
P3/4 – Earth Day
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 – Pen Pals
P3/4 were so excited to receive replies from our Pen-Pal letters in Spain! We loved reading all about our new friends!
P3/4 – The Lungs
We have been learning about the lungs and explored the movement of air in and out of our bodies.
P3/4 – Literacy – Apostrophes
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.
P3/4 – Pen Pals
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!
P3/4 – IDL – The Brain
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.
P3/4 – Padlet KWL – My Body
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.
P3/4 – Scottish Inventors
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!
