We have re-visited the technique of pointillism and we have created lizards that would  be found in the Rainforest. We feel it gives a good  texture for a reptiles skin. We know that they can change colours in different environments. 

In our IDL lessons  we have been discussing climates. We compared the climate of Scotland with the climate of the Rainforest. We have discovered some similarities and differences between them. We then created our own weather forecasts for Glasgow and the Rainforest and performed them in front of a green screen.

In RME with Miss Little we have been Learning about Hinduism and the Festival of Light, Diwali. Using clay, we carefully crafted diva lamps into their traditional shape and painted them with wonderful bright colours, well done Primary 4!

We have had lots of spooky Halloween fun today. We made a mask of our own choice and we are really proud of them. We think they look great!

We have all become very familiar with a bear called Paddington in Primary 4 and we  have loved creating art work, stories and drama relating to him. He is a bear who is living in a different surrounding where  he has to adapt to changes. We feel he’s helping us understand that even though  things in our world is different just now we can all still have fun and learn new things even if we are a little worried. Here are our paper plate Paddington faces.

We have been completing a lot of Interdisciplinary  Learning in Primary Four. We have been investigating the Human Body and in particular our skeleton and our major organs. We were given a problem solving group task to create a child size human skeleton. We had to work together to cut and order then assemble the skeleton. We all achieved this in the end. Here are our completed skeletons!

We are all happy to be back in Cross Arthurlie. We are  fitting into a new routine and it’s been fun seeing all our friends again. At the moment we can’t show you our lovely faces on camera but we can show you our hard work.

Photo 1. We have drawn our own faces and completed some personal writing.
Photo 2. We have been thinking about healthy minds and healthy bodies and we created skeleton art work.
Photo 3. We have re-created Piet Mondrian art work.
Photo 4. We have been revising symmetry and our multiplication tables in Maths. We created symmetry animals and rainbow multiplication.

Your new teacher can’t wait to welcome all of you to Primary 4.

Hi everyone! Tomorrow I am attending to work at The Hub School ☺  I will not be online tomorrow until after 4pm as I will be working. Your class work is scheduled to go live on Google Classroom at 9am. There is no pressure to complete all of the tasks; this adjustment will take time and it is important that you find a schedule that suits you and your household best.

If you are attending The Hub under the Council and Government guidelines, I will be there to welcome you! I can’t wait to see you! ☺️ Please share with anyone you know attending tomorrow in P3/1 and P3/2: I am the designated teacher for tomorrow!

Thanks, everyone! 💕🙌🏼

Isabella drew this picture back in September and it has been proudly on our classroom door ever since. Before I left work tonight I carefully looked around our learning space to take it all in: all our work on the walls; the areas where we share and build and create; the quiet spots where we read and learn things for the very first time.  I felt so sad to be leaving it this way but I felt so proud of P3/2 and all the amazing learning and growing that takes place in our space. I can’t wait to get back to the buzz of the classroom and see all your smiley faces again! I took a quick photo of the picture so I can have it as my phone backdrop until we are all reunited! Stay safe everyone and thank you for making me the happiest teacher! You really are the best class ever! ♥️
