Last Week of P4

It’s hard to believe that it’s the last day of term 4, it’s been a very quick year.

We had a class party on Tuesday as a reward for our enterprise work this term.

We had a great school trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park on Wednesday. We had lots of fun singing on the bus, bouncing on the bouncy pillow and trampolines and exploring the Wild Child Woods.  We got to see lots of amazing animals, had a picnic lunch outside and enjoyed the indoor play area. What a fantastic day we all had!

Well done to the Callum, Carter and Charlotte who were showing off their football and gymnastics skills at Catrine’s Got Talent yesterday morning. You were very brave to stand up and perform in front of the whole school.

We finished off the school year with a movie day. We voted to watch the movie Lilo & Stitch.

Have a great summer holiday everyone!

 

Weekly Round-Up

We have been rounding up our learning in P4 this week. We finished our class book study ‘The Hundred Mile An Hour Dog’ and wrote a review for the book. We completed our work on angles in maths and created some lovely art work with Miss Kay.

We also enjoyed a class walk in the lovely sunshine.

We got to watch the live Chess Championship final. Congratulations to Brody in P6 who was this year’s winner.

Very well done to all of our P4 prizewinners who received an award at our prize giving ceremony on Wednesday. The awards were as follows:

Successful Learner: Braxton

Responsible Citizen: Allan

Effective Contributor: Adam

Confident Individual: Carter

Excellence in Learning: Maya

P4 Literacy Award: Miley

It’s hard to believe that next week is the final week of this school year! Miss Russell will be visiting the school on Monday afternoon to meet the class and to have a ‘getting to know you’ session with the pupils. We also have our class party, a trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park and Catrine’s Got Talent to look forward to.

Have a great weekend!

Health Week

We have been taking part in lots of fun activities for Health Week this week.

On Monday we got to practise our football skills with Kilmarnock Football Club.

We were also learning about oral health and the importance of brushing our teeth.

On Tuesday morning we were food tasting and learning about different fruit and vegetables with Eddie and Amy from The Cotton Trail.

As part of their leadership P6 pupils organised some great circuit stations for us in the playground in the afternoon.

On Wednesday we were learning about water safety with Richard from the RNLI and line dancing with Miss Brown.

In the afternoon we went for a class walk to the river to practise our photography skills and take photos of the natural environment.

On Thursday we were learning about fire safety with firefighter Gerry.

We then got to build dens in the playground with our families and enjoyed eating our lunch outside. In the afternoon we got to take part in different ‘Busy hands, calm minds’ activities.

Mrs McKenna and Mrs Watt’s ‘Busy hands, calm minds’ group went for a walk to the Voes to feed the ducks.

We finished off the week with laser tag and a silent disco.

As well as all of these great activities, Primary 4 have been busy making and selling popcorn cones as part of their enterprise project this week. The pupils have all worked so hard and have made an amazing profit of £54.15 which will go towards an end of term class party. Thank you so much for all of your support.

On Thursday afternoon the RBA brass band performed a concert for P4 and P5 pupils. Some of our pupils will get the chance to learn to play a brass instrument next session.

It’s hard to believe there are only 4 more weeks to go until the summer holiday!

Weekly Round-Up

It has been another week of glorious sunshine, it’s just a pity this lovely weather isn’t going to last.

We made the most of  by the sunshine by going for a walk to the river on Monday afternoon. We saw lots of tadpoles and enjoyed catching them in containers to have a closer look. We made sure we returned them all to the water before we left!

Our pupils have been working so hard to learn chess and took part in round 1 of the Chess Championship on Tuesday. Well done to the pupils who have made it through to round 2.

We also had Discovery Dens again on Wednesday afternoon, where we got to take part in lots of different activities. Mrs McKenna’s group were learning to draw an ice-cream tower.

We have also been taking part in ‘Walk to School Week’ this week and have enjoyed walking to school with a different theme each day. Have a look at some of our crazy hairstyles yesterday!

We completed the vertical jump for the Junior Sports Championship in PE this week.

Riley was the winner of a Ruby Reward ticket today and chose Carter to sit with him at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Riley!

Class Talks

Well done Primary 4 for the hard work and effort you put into your class talks this week. I loved hearing about your favourite books and movies.

You all did an amazing job presenting your talks to an audience and should be very proud of yourselves!

Homework Week 3

Pupils should be ready to present their class talks this week. Please see previous posts for details.

The focus for homework this week is spelling words ending in ‘le’. Pupils have been given a spelling homework grid and spelling list to work on at home this week (see below). Please choose some of the spelling strategies to practise your spelling words.

Homework should be returned by Monday 19th May.

This Week in P4

This week in Primary 4 we have been learning about Victory in Europe (VE) Day.

It was the 80th anniversary of VE Day on Thursday and we observed a minute silence to remember the people who fought for our country in World War 2.

We wrote about VE Day in literacy and created some super pieces of work.

We also made posters to commemorate VE Day.

In maths we have been learning about money to £20.

We have started our Junior Sports Championship and this week we completed the ball throw event.

Remember that class talks are due to be presented next week. Please see the previous posts for details.
