Talking and Listening in P4EL
Learners were exploring the Ancient Egyptian hierarchy and ‘social triangle’.
Pupils learned about some of the jobs such as viziers, craftsmen and scribes and how they were sorted based their importance.
At the end of our lesson pupils were asked whether they agreed with the social pyramid and were told to change the order if they wished. The children gave fabulous responses to explain their new order and made it clear that the slaves and farmers did not deserve to be so low in the order. Many pupils were vocal about how the pharaohs and viziers were too mean and made bad decisions.

P4 Paper group create music!
P4 Paper group had lots of fun creating their own music today.
Following on from their exploration of Carnival of the Animals pupils were to choose an animal and then create music using percussion instruments. The audience then had to guess which animals they were describing.
Videos of the performances will hopefully be uploaded soon.
During our first lesson in music many weeks ago some pupils felt a little unsure and nervous about the idea of learning music. However they showed great enjoyment and had a sense of achievement as they learned how to play some new instruments and performed in front of an audience. Well done!
P4 ‘Rock’ up to the Dick Institute for The Wonderful World of Wacky Walliams
The P4 Rock group visited the Dick Institute yesterday to participate in workshops relating to David Walliams. Pupils had an excellent time and a great learning experience.
Pupils also had the opportunity to use iMovie to create trailers based on titles similar to David Walliams. The wonderful staff will send us these trailers so we can watch them on the big screen!
We’d like to say thank you to the staff at the Dick Institute for a super day. 🙂
