Primary 4-1 and 4-2 have been learning how to help someone if they are choking.  We revised the Heartstart training for calling for help, how to stop a severe bleed and placing a casualty in the recovery position.

Primary 4 investigated the Rights of the Child by reading and discussing the different articles.  As a class we decided which articles were important to us.  We will work together this year to explore how we protect children’s rights.

We hope you are enjoying the Blog.  There will be more to come next session as the Blog follows the class through their time at Cross Arthurlie.

Today we designed our own theme park rides. We worked as a team using a range of materials to create unique rides to fit in with the theme of our park. We loved being creative!

P3 had a brilliant trip to the Science Centre learning all about ‘The Journey through the body and exploring the different exhibits.

We loved designing a horse carousel as part of our Theme Park enterprise topic! We are looking forward to creating more rides next week. Watch this space… 

We all enjoyed taking part in the potted sports and house races. A fun filled and exhausting day!

We have enjoyed trying some new Chinese sports including table tennis and fan dancing and extending our gymnastics skills using our new equipment.

We have been learning all about food chains. We explored the different types of living things in our playground and found some interesting plants and animals.

We found grass, leaves, daisies, worms, beetles, slugs and even a ladybird.

We discussed  what different animals eat and drew our own food chain. Now we know that plants and animals need each other to survive.

We finished off our Egyptian topic by exploring different artefacts and books. We used all our previous learning to describe what each item was and why it was important to the Egyptians.
