In primary 4 we are all excited to welcome our guest speakers for World of Work Week next week. In preparation, we have been discussing different jobs that we would like to do and the ones that our family members do. We have also created posters for a new teaching position at Hillview Primary showing the kinds of qualities we think a good teacher should have.

Roman Topic
We have started our Roman topic which we are all very excited about. We learned how the Romans used mosaics in their art and we created mosaic helmets by cutting up bits of paper and gluing them into the correct shape. We had lots of fun! 🙂
Maths Week
We took the opportunity of having maths week to do some fun, practical maths activities. Some of the class measured and created waistcoats to their torso length and width which they were able to decorate and wear.
The children practiced fractions with Miss McNulty by dividing up pizzas with different topping for different portions.
On Friday we practiced our STEM problem solving by trying to construct the tallest freestanding tower that wouldn’t blow over. We discussed where we went right, where we went wrong and how we could improve our towers next time.
Welcome to Primary 4!
Our Primary 4 class have had a great start to the year learning about the environment and how to live sustainably. We have learned how to keep our planet free from plastic and have planted some beetroot seeds which we hope to cook with when they are ready. As you can see from the pictures, we had great fun doing this and have already got some successful shoots growing up out of the soil.
