The children are building greenhouse for their cress on Wednesday 18th March as part of our STEM fortnight activities, please bring in as much plastic as you can.

Examples:

plastic bottles, yoghurt pots, plastic bags, washing up liquid bottles, grape boxes etc.

We have been lucky enough to spend Thursday afternoons doing P.E at Stewarton academy, taught by the S4 pupils.

We have enjoyed doing different activities and games and visiting the academy.

We have had 2 sessions so far and have our last session next week 🙂

This week we have been doing a lot of eating in P4, with pancake day activities and baking our own bannocks.

A bannock is a traditional Scottish bread.

The children have been developing their measuring skills, alongside our school values of teamwork and responsibility when baking.

For homework going forward, children will be assigned the same book on giglets for 2 weeks.

On week one children will have a task to complete using the book, the following week children will have a different task to complete using the same book.

Please let me know if anyone needs another copy of the log-in details sent home 🙂

Children should use giglets to practise their fluency and expression whilst reading – as well as their comprehension skills.

P.E

Some of our pupils had the chance to lead some P.E lessons this week, this was a fantastic way for the children to develop their leadership skills and put their football teaching abilities to the test. Well done boys 🙂

Numeracy

We have been looking at equivalent fractions using concrete materials and seeing if we notice any patterns when writing them down.

Scots

We looked at the story of The Three Little Pigs and had a go at translating sections into Scots.

We also had the chance to practise A Dug, A Dug with P4W.

Mystery Reader

We were lucky enough to have a visit from a mystery reader on Friday,

Children had to guess who they were and they also prepared some questions for them.

We are learning the words to Amy MacDonald – Pride.

Here is the link for anyone who wants to practise at home 🙂
