Will – We had a specialist come in to do cricket with us. We had tons of fun!
Ben – Try this sport, it is very fun to play! I hope you win!
Try a sports week: Handball
Zaid – We done boys vs girls in a handball match. It is like football but you have to use your hands.
Siona – We were playing handball and there was a coloured team and a non coloured team. We played against one another and my team won!
Thalia – Handball was very fun and exciting!
Outdoor learning and spooky Halloween art
Mrs Martin challenged us in a group to work together to create a skeleton.
Here are some of our skeletons.
Outdoor learning and the 5 times table
We used leaves to create the 5 times table. We found leaves that had 5 points. Here is Sarah, Thalia and Olivia’s 5 times table.
Joseph O found 17 leaves. As a class we worked out that 17 x 5 = 85.
Great Work Primary 4.1
It has been really interesting to look through all of your fantastic blog posts this year.
I loved seeing the Higland Coos artwork that you produced. It looked great and I’m sure it was lots of fun to do.
During Maths Week Scotland you took part in lots of varied and interesting activities to develop your numeracy skills and I also saw that you completed a survey about cars passing the school. It looked like you all really enjoyed making (and eating) shortbread!
Jamie, it is great to see that you are becoming a keen gardener outside of school. That cucumber looked yummy.
It is also great to see you using Bounce Back to learn about kindness and supporting others. I hope you are able to use these skills to help each other.
Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing what you get up to next.
Mr Masters

This week in P4.1
Today we showed racism the red card. We wore something red to stand up against racism.
For maths we went outdoors. We collected data on the colour of cars that passed the school. We came into class and displayed this in a bar graph.
Jacob- I liked being outside.
Zaid- we done a survey about colours of cars and white won.
Finlay- The task was more fun than textbook work but it was boring waiting for cars to pass the school.
We also presented our Scottish food talk. Mrs Martin was very impressed with our talks.
Lucy- my talk was on Abroth Smokies. I presented clearly.
Olivia- I created a PowerPoint on Scottish beef. Scottish beef comes from cows.
Marci- I researched Scottish tablet and it is yummy.
James shared his PowerPoint
James created a PowerPoint at home about the different super cars. He presented confidently to the class.
James- My favourite car is a Ferrari and my second favourite car is a B Engineering Edonis.
Jamie’s amazing cucumber
I grew this cucumber in my garden. Then I picked it out and took it to school. Heather from the kitchen brought a knife and chopping board and chopped it up. Everyone liked it! 
Scottish dancing
We have been learning some traditional Scottish ceilidh dances. We now know how to do The Dashing White Sergeant and we have started to learn the Gay Gordons. Watch this space for our next video.
