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.

Ancient Egyptians – Fact or Opinion

Primary 3 have been learning about the ancient civilisation the Egyptians.

We have been using our research skills to find out about people from the past using artefacts, reference texts and websites.

We have discovered a lot of facts about the ancient Egyptians and discussed similaries and differences.

As part of our reading we have been exploring  facts and opinions.

A fact is something which can be proven wheras  an opinion is how you feel and  it can change.

We created  fact and opinion boards to present our learning. We asked our peers   to identify  which statements were facts and which were opinions.

Fact

The ancient  Egyptians  made paper from  the paypyrus plant.

Opinion

The pyramids are the most beautiful buildings.
