Today’s Tasks

 

We are going to be doing some work in class and at home with our class novel The Titanic Detective Agency.  Please let us know by Friday 20th March if you are able to source a copy of your own as we have a limited number of them in school.

Some of us had fun with shaving foam spelling today.  We looked at a word for a little while and then tried to write it in the foam, this time without looking.  And don’t worry – we were being careful about germs and had our own foam instead of sharing with a friend!

Here we are celebrating  having completed our Sport Relief activities outside.  (Some of our furry friends are celebrating too!)  We had great fun shooting baskets, tossing beanbags and beating goalies.  We even had some sunshine!  Thanks to all who sent in donations – your support is much appreciated.  Thanks also to the Sports Leaders – they worked hard all day  to make sure that everyone had lots of fun while raising money for a good cause.

Primary 4b thoroughly enjoyed their school trip on the Tall Ship yesterday. Firstly, we learnt about Morse Code with experts telling us how Morse Code improved communication between ships. We learnt some of the Morse Code patterns for each letter, and had a go at using the machine.

Next, we had to be marine archaeologist and excavate items found, using special gloves and a brush. We had to mark the co ordinates of each item and work out what the item would be used for and which class of passenger would use it.

After lunch, we had the opportunity to look around the Riverside museum and investigate the old street.

We had a super time.

In Maths, we have been revising  3D shape.  We are already confident with square-based pyramids and triangular prisms, so we were set a new challenge. We made tetrahedrons with Miss Bruce, focusing on vertices and edges.

This afternoon, we enjoyed investigating how electricity can be conducted through salty water.

Here are  a couple of pictures from our Dogs’ Trust visit.  We learned a lot about the things you need to think about before you decide to get a dog and how to keep your dog healthy and happy when you do get it.

We really enjoyed the visit.  Some of us were hoping that there would be a real dog to pat, but it probably wouldn’t be a good idea because not everyone likes to get close to dogs and some dogs might be a bit scared if they saw so many children!
