Christmas Movie in class

The Primary 4 watched The Nativity in class on Tuesday afternoon and enjoyed singing along to all the festive songs in the film. Each child had their own plate of treats and snacks for the movie and there was definitely a sugar rush the closer we got to 3 O’clock. The children have worked so hard over this term and deserved an afternoon to relax and have fun with their peers because they all deserve it. Thank you all for your continued support over this year so far and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when it comes.

Magnets Topic Work and Christmas Paintings

This week the children in Primary 4  have been very busy in the classroom! The children started the week by drawing and painting  a Snowman Christmas scene, the children were able to capture the snowy scenes modelled on the board. This was relevant with how cold it was in Scotland this week! The children had lots of fun doing this and will show off these paintings as they bring them home next week.

The children also learned about magnets as part of their class topic and the relationship it has with electricity. The children experimented in the classroom to see what things in the classroom were magnetic and could work with their peers to predict what objects they feel are magnetic. Well done Primary 4!

 

Whitelee Windfarm School Trip

Hi everyone,

The boys and girls in Primary 4 went on a school trip to Whitelee Winfarm in Eaglesham this week. The children went as part of their Electricity topic in the classroom and this involved the children learning about renewable and non-renewable energy and how we create electricity from it. The children braved the extremely cold weather and had a great time at Whitelee, they experienced the wind turbines in person and took part in exciting science experiments. Thank you to everyone involved and well done to Primary 4 for being extremely well behaved, I will upload the outdoor photographs next week.

I hope you all had a great time!

Outdoor learning and Circuit Components

The children had another outdoor learning session with a professional from East Ayrshire Council. This involved the children walking rounding the village identifying numbers they could see and linking this to time. The children also looked at pattern and shape and could identify the shapes they were drawing.

In Science, the children learned about the components in a circuit and this involved them working in pairs to sort the component with the correct drawing. The class managed to draw the symbols very well and could tell me what the component was used for.
