Primary 4 studies lots of painting by L.S. Lowry. We noticed the colours he likes to use, the style of the people and the buildings and that he likes railings, streetlamps, railways and electricity lines. These are our townscapes in the style of Lowry, we think he would like them!
We have been learning how to create animations using I Can Animate software.
We were challenged to create our own settings which we uploaded and used as our background. We then created characters which had travel through our setting.
We have nearly finshed them and will be uploading them soon.
We have also been sharing our learning with Primary Two and we have been helping them to create their own jungle animations.
We enjoyed helping our fiends in Primary Two, their animations are really coming on and theirjungle drawings look fantastic.
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.

Today Primary 3 took their Maths and Science learning outdoors. We used our measuring skills to create life size food chains. First we found out the average sizes of animals within a Food Chain and ordered then from smallest to greatest.
Ross has really enjoyed learning about honeybees. So much so,that he went home and made a fantastic bee model using recyclable materials! We’re all looking forward to hearing how you made it. Well done Ross.
We worked cooperatively with our partners to create fun and challenging maths games for everyone to use.
We created rules for our games, challenging maths questions and designed attractive boards.
We have all enjoyed trying out each other’s games. Elise and Kayla’s Spinner board game has been particularly popular although we had to make some changes to the rules as we kept getting sent back to the start.
At the beginning of the term, P3 discussed how important it was to work together to help everyone learn in class and feel happy. We talked about the golden rules our class would need to have to help us succeed. We agreed on the most important ‘golden riles’ for us to follow. We then designed posters which we have displayed in class.
In science, we have been learning about honeybees. We researched facts about honeybees and found out about how they work together to build their hives.
We realised that the cells within the honeycombs are hexagon shaped. We used bubblewrap and cardboard to create a printing tool. We then worked in pairs to print our own hives.
We also looked at photos of honeybees and identified the different shapes we could use to draw them. We then stuck our bees onto our printed hives. We were very pleased with the results.
