Welcome to the Primary 4 class blog for this session.

Primary 4 have had a great few days back at school and have settled in well to their new classroom and routines.

We have been working together to create our ‘Class Charter’ and decided on ‘The Simpsons’ as the theme for our charter this session.

   

Our PE days in P4 will be a Wednesday  and Friday.

Please make sure your child has indoor gym shoes and shorts/leggings (labelled) in order to take part in P.E.  These can be kept in school in a labelled bag. All jewellery (including earrings) must be removed before taking part in lessons.

Thanks for your support.
