Spelling is a little different this week as we have been learning about compound words in grammar.

Here is a link to some online games as well as the differentiated word lists.

Spelling Compound Words

Fun from Friday!

On Friday 15th November, we held an achievement assembly to celebrate our learners. We selected four pupils from each class to receive a certificate matching to one of the four capacities of curriculum for excellence.

More information about the four capacities can be found here-

Our first certificates were awarded to Oliver, Wallace, Illy and Ellie. Well done!

We loved hearing about the children’s wider achievements too. Look out for our SWAY for more celebrations.

This week Primary 3/4 enjoyed a special treat of a movie with popcorn as their class reward. Each day our “secret student” earns a petal towards our target and when the flower blooms we’ve reached our reward.

In numeracy we have been learning to use the more than and less than symbols to compare numbers. In literacy we learned about onomatopoeia and made Bonfire Safety posters. We began planning for our new topic ‘jobs in our community’.

See what we’ve been up to below.

Pupils had a fun filled day on Friday, celebrating with STEM, a parade, group activities with p5/6 and finishing with a party! We loved seeing all the effort that went into costumes.

Here are some snaps of this week’s fitness stations. Can your child identify the cardio and strength stations?

Take a look at what we’ve been up to in the STEM room with Mrs Rooney.

Well done to all of our learners on a very successful term one! It has flown in, we have had lots of fun bonding as a new p3/4 class and have worked hard in all areas.
