Primary 4 have been working extremely hard again this week in class and on Wednesday afternoon I gave them a well deserved fun afternoon after finishing 7th in the East Ayrshire Sumdog contest. The children enjoyed playing a class quiz, had the games box out and enjoyed listening to some music. Can I just take this opportunity to thank everyone for working so hard this term.
I would just like to thank everyone for all their hard work in the East Ayrshire Sumdog contest. 84 classes entered the contest and many having larger classes than ours however, this did not stop the determination of our Primary 4 class and we finished in an amazing 7th place. This is just a quick message to say I am very proud of you all and again thank you for all the hard work in the contest! I hope you all have an amazing spring holiday with your families!
This week for beyond number the children had 3 activity stations that they rotated every 20 minutes. The first station had a focus on 2D shapes and they used the concrete resources to pair up and take turns describing the properties of the shape, their partner would guess what shape. The second station as the design station and this involved the children drawing different 2D and 3D shapes and labelling them with their properties. The final station was similar to station 1 however it was focused on 3D shape and using different language such as vertices to describe their shape. Well done Primary 4!

The children designed Spring baskets with eggs inside of them as part of their Spring art display. The children learned how to design the basket and incorporated their own designs and patterns on the eggs. They had lots of fun doing this and they all look great! Eggsellent job Primary 4.

The children in Primary 4 have been continuing their work on Scotland this week and as part of their art lesson, they started to create their own Scotland flags using crepe paper. The class were learning about collage this week and we watched clips from Art Attack to show how collage can take different forms not just paper, the children applied this knowledge as they begin to create their own designs. Well done Primary 4, I am sure many of the adults at home will remember Art Attack from their youths!

On Monday the children created their own travel brochure using the information they have learned about Scotland so far. The children used the class laptops to research more information for their brochures and they stood up in front of their peers to explain the beautiful places to visit in our amazing country! Well done Primary 4!
