Primary 4 visited Whitelee windfarm on the 18th May. We made a tour of the windfarm with a guide who told us lots of interesting facts about the windfarm and the animals that live there. He gave us a test at the end of it. we also carried out experiments to generate electricity from renewable energy. It was great fun and we learned a lot.

FUZZBUZZ
Fuzzbuzz is good. Some of us use it to help with our reading. Book 3 is called the garden. The fuzzbuzzes live there. They say buzz buzz.The mattress in the garden is yellow and the fuzzbuzzes like to jump from the tree onto it. At the end of the story all of the apples fall from the tree on top of them. This good work was created by Matthew and Ryan
Comparing food in Ancient Rome and Modern Scotland
We used historical evidence to compare daily life in Ancient Rome with our daily lives. We discovered that some things are the same and some things are very different. We would be very surprised to find stuffed dormouse on the school lunch menu.
Writing
We wanted to describe an imaginary person. We had been focussing on character writing. We wanted to use lots of adjectives. We made a word bank of adjectives that would be useful to us.  In grammar we had been working on conjunctions and we wanted to see if we could use these successfully in our writing. Our success criteria also included punctuation and making sure our writing made sense.  We were really pleased with our results as most of us self assessed and realised the successful learning that had taken place.
Ancient Roman mosaics
We used our ICT skills to research our Social Studies topic and found out that the Romans decorated their villas with mosaics. These are a great source of Primary Evidence about the Roman way of life. We recreated them in our Art using coloured paper tiles. It took a lot of time and effort, but as you can see, it was worth it!
Our Main Organs
Primary 4 have been researching about the major organs of our body.
We chose an organ each and used a search engine to find out some interesting facts.
We took notes and then we reported our information back to the rest of the class.
We then gathered all the information we had collected. We chose an organ each and created a poster to pass this information onto others.
We also discovered where that organ was located in our body.
