This week in P4 we have been learning to simplify fractions in maths.

Well done to Shaun who has been working hard to learn times table facts and has now completed his times table passport.

In literacy we have been continuing to work on our handwriting and writing targets. Cole has been working so hard to improve his handwriting and it is clearly evident in his written work.

We have been learning about digital learning and ways of keeping safe online.

We went for a class walk to the park.

Matthew was the winner of a Ruby Reward ticket and chose Allan from P5 to sit with him at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Matthew!

The focus for our homework block this term in numeracy.

Pupils have been given a ‘Cupcake recipe’ task to complete for homework this week (see below).

Homework should be completed and returned by Monday 2nd March.

It has been a very busy week with lots going on in Primary 4!

We celebrated Shrove Tuesday by making pancakes in class. We had to follow a recipe, measure out all of the ingredients needed and then we got to eat them. Some of us even had a go at flipping a pancake!

In literacy the next day we wrote a set of instructions for making pancakes.

We have been continuing our work on fractions in numeracy.

We finished our wonderful Kelpies silhouette artwork.

We went for a walk to The Voes to feed the ducks.

M&M Productions visited the school this week and performed the show ‘Oliver Twist’ for us.

Carson was the winner of a Ruby Reward ticket this week and chose Lyle to sit with him at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Carson!

We have only had 3 days in school this week, but we have managed to fit in a lot of learning.

We have been working on our new learning target in writing to start sentences in different ways. This helps to make our writing more interesting.

In numeracy we have been learning to recognise and identify a fraction of shapes and an amount.

We have been learning about Scottish mythical creatures and have been working on creating Kelpies silhouette pictures in art. We painted our background this week and will finish off the silhouettes next week.

We also had Discovery Dens again this week where we got to take part in lots of different activities.

Poppy was awarded a badge and certificate at Brownies last night for making her Brownie Promise.

Congratulations Poppy!

Here is a recount of our trip to the Science Centre written by Logan.

Yesterday we went to the Science Centre on a bus.

The Science Centre is in Glasgow.

We had a snack first and after our snack we went to the toilets. Next we went to the third floor and we went to the IMAX to watch the Animal Kingdom. We needed to wear 3D glasses in the IMAX.

After we went to the first floor and there was a big tv that we could draw on. Then we had lunch in the Clyde Suite.

Finally we went to the second floor and we went back to school then we went home.
