In our Mandarin lessons, we have been learning the basics of the Mandarin Chinese language. We have practised counting using Mandarin numbers and started to learn the alphabet sounds used when speaking the language. We also enjoyed learning and singing fun songs, which helped us remember new words and improve our pronunciation. 🎶🔢
Primary 4 worked together to research facts about Valentine’s Day and used their findings to create a bold, bright, and eye-catching fact files. They gathered interesting information about the history and traditions of the celebration around the world and organised their ideas clearly. The pupils used strong titles, paragraphs, and colourful graphics to present their facts in an engaging way. This activity helped them practise their research, writing, and presentation skills while learning more about Valentine’s Day. ❤️📚
For Valentines Day we made some Love Bugs! We learned some basic sewing skills and created our own handmade bugs. First, we gathered our materials, including fabric, thread and soft stuffing. We carefully cut out our shapes and used simple stitches to sew the pieces together. After sewing around the edges, we filled our Love Bugs with stuffing to make them soft and puffy. This activity helped us practise using basic stitches, develop our sewing and fine motor skills. We had so much fun!!🧵🐞
We explored the colourful artwork of Andy Warhol and learned about his famous pop art style. We looked at some of his well-known pieces and noticed how he often repeated the same image using bright, bold colours. Inspired by this, we created our own repeat pattern clip art based on Love Hearts sweets. Before painting, we studied the colour wheel to help us choose colours that work well together. Using these ideas, we designed bright and fun patterns that show our understanding of colour and repetition, just like Warhol’s pop art. 🎨
Primary 4 have been enjoying their new Mandarin lessons on Wednesday afternoons!

Primary 4 had some fantastic ideas for Crazy Hair Day! We had so much fun! The children came to school with the wackiest, wildest hairstyles you can imagine. From colourful streaks to spiky creations. It was brilliant to see everyone being so creative and full of energy, and the classroom was buzzing with laughter all day! 💈🌈😃
Welcome back Primary 4, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! 🥳
Primary 4 had a fantastic visit from our P7 buddies, who came to teach us all about electricity and circuits! They showed us how to make simple circuits and even helped us try some hands-on activities. It was so much fun learning from our older friends, and we loved exploring how electricity works in a safe and exciting way. 💡
The Hexagons and Octagons maths groups have been working hard on 3D shapes! To make learning extra fun, they went on a scavenger hunt around the classroom to spot and identify lots of different 3D shapes. The children loved searching for shapes and showed great teamwork and enthusiasm while learning about cubes, cylinders, spheres, pyramids and more! 🔍
The Hexagons and Octagons also took their learning outside! They went on the lookout for sticks and acorns to create their very own 3D shapes.
We then made our own 3D information shapes and nets posters!
The circles math group have been working on their fractions! We have also been creating our own fractions infographic posters, as well as some fraction robots! 🤖
Primary 4 have also been working really hard on their times tables and are becoming more confident and fluent every day! They have especially enjoyed racing to complete their times table flowers, competing with their teams to see who can finish first. It’s fantastic to see their determination, teamwork, and progress. Well done, Primary 4! 💐✖️
We had a super time celebrating Burns Day with a fun writing activity! We watched the video Haggis and Neeps and took note of some interesting Scots language. Then we got creative and made our own bright and eye-catching Scots bubbles, writing a Scottish word and its meaning. We identified dreich, which means dull or damp. The children loved learning new words and showing off their colourful designs! 💙
Children channelled their inner Robert Burns and got creative with some tartan silhouette art! The children designed their own colourful silhouettes to celebrate the famous Scottish poet, showing off their imagination and artistic skills. 🎨🧑🎨
Children had a blast challenging themselves with a grammar race! We had to spot and circle all the adjectives on the board, and the team that finished first won. The children loved racing against each other while practising their grammar skills and showing off their quick thinking! 💭🏃♂️
Great start to Term 2 so far Primary 4! 😃
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM PRIMARY 4!
Primary 4 displayed their Christmas knowledge while making Christmas acrostic poems! First, we worked in groups to create mind maps full of festive words and ideas. Then we used them to write our very own poems using the word Christmas. The children were so creative and imaginative, and it was lovely to see all their festive ideas come to life! ❄️🎄🎁
We had a special visit from some real reindeer! We got to feed them crunchy carrots and even sit in Santa’s sleigh. The most exciting part was watching one of the reindeer shed its antler! Everyone loved getting so close to these magical animals and experiencing a bit of Christmas magic up close. 🦌🥕✨
Primary 4 had so much fun giving our classroom a Christmas makeover! We decorated with colourful baubles, Santa art and festive garlands to make it feel really magical. Everyone helped to add their own special touches, and our classroom felt cosy and full of Christmas cheer! 🎄
We had a fantastic time performing in our Christmas Concert, Through the Decades!

Lastly, a big THANK YOU to all the wonderful parents and families of Primary 4 for my beautiful present – it is truly appreciated!🌟
Primary 4 loved celebrating our school turning 60 years old! To mark the special occasion, we threw it back to the 1960s and came to school dressed in fantastic 60s-themed outfits. There were lots of bright colours, patterns and retro styles on show. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our school’s history and be part of such a special milestone. 🪩🕺
LET’S CELEBRATE, SILENT DISCO DANCE PARTY! 👯♀️🪩🎉🎧🎊
Primary 4 had lots of fun taking part in our Children in Need Pyjama Day! The children loved coming to school in their cosy pyjamas while helping to raise money for such an important cause. We enjoyed talking about why Children in Need is important and how it helps other children. Well done, Primary 4, for showing such kindness and generosity! 🌈😊
