If you are looking for some additional activities for your child please follow this link to BBC Bitesize. Here you will find lots of different activities for a wide range of areas and extension tasks for Literacy and Numeracy.
It is a superb resource and is recommended for use by Education Scotland.
Powerpoint on Teams
In order to hear teacher audio clips , it is best to download the PowerPoint rather than open it in Teams, that way you should be able to hear the teacher when you click on the audio button.

This week’s lunch menu
Week Beginning 18/01/21
Good morning Primary 4.
The work you require for today has been set on our primary 4 Teams page. If you check your glow email account, you will see that I sent everyone a video last week, showing you how to access Teams and where to find the assigned daily tasks. If you haven’t watched this video yet, can I ask that you do so now as this will assist you in accessing the tasks to complete.
To access the tasks, go to files in Teams, then class materials folder. In the class materials folder, the work is broken down by curricullar area folders, then sorted into group tasks. If anyone is still not sure which group work to access, please let me know and I can remind you.
Best of luck today,
Mrs Travers
Check-in phonecalls with children
Between Monday 18th January and Friday 29th January class teachers will complete one check-in phonecall with each child.
Children attending school – 9am arrival
Children attending school during this time should come to the front entrance just for 9am. They should not be dropped at school before this as there is no supervision available in the morning.
