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!
This week the children have been learning about personal hygiene and how to wash our hands properly. This included the children doing an experiment with glitter, this represented the germs and it could help them visualise how germs can spread quickly if your personal hygiene is not good. The children really enjoyed this experiment and were able to write down in their jotters the steps you take to wash your hands effectively and created their own hand sanitiser design too. Well done Primary 4!
The children in Primary 4 have been learning about nutrition and healthy eating as part of their health and wellbeing work for this term. The children prepared the fruit for their fruit kebabs using safe knife skills and also researched facts about a chosen fruit which included how much sugar, nutrition and vitamins you would find. They all had lots of fun creating them and had the chance to eat them after their P.E lesson. Great job Primary 4!
The children in Primary 4 continued their work with the 7 and 3 times tables and had a carousel of activities they would rotate throughout the lesson. The first activity was on Sumdog and the children used the laptops to complete the multiplication games and focused on whatever times table they had been practising. The second activity was a worksheet station and the children had times table wheels to help them with the number processes and to build on their prior learning. The final station the children took out the resources in the classroom and used sets of and groups of to create multiplication calculations. Great Numeracy work this week Primary 4!
Primary 4 started their fitness and agility circuits for this block and they were learning about why circuits are important when preparing for sports and the different skills and techniques involved when doing them. The focus for the children this week in the circuits was speed and balance and we also discussed why you need to take breaks in between activities to give your body recovery time. The children really enjoyed it and did very well for their first lesson.
The children started their new class novel this week and that was James and the Giant Peach. The children enjoyed reading the first couple of chapters and completed work on predictions and visualisation after they had read the chapters. The children created their own giant peach to put on the wall, including some adjectives to describe how James would be feeling.
Thanks for all your hard work this week Primary 4!
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.
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!
