Primary 4b 23/24

Last week we started our new topic ‘Life on Land’. We explored the Global Goals and discussed how we can all play our part to make the world a better place. Our topic focuses on Global Goal 15 – Life on Land. We explored the habitats found in our playground and made maps to display where these habitats are found.

Primary 4b have created watercolour paintings to depict the events of Good Friday.

Today Primary 4b enjoyed exploring different stations to consolidate learning on time.

 

The boys and girls in Primary 4b have been presenting their solo talks on our recent topic, The Romans. It has been fascinating to learn so many new facts and I have been very impressed with the time, effort and care that has been put in to creating the presentations. Well done!

Primary 4b enjoyed taking part in the charity walk for SCIAF this afternoon.

We have recently been learning about digital and analogue time and this was the focus of the Outdoor Learning challenge today. Everyone was tasked with using the loose parts to create a clock that displayed their favourite time of the day. Most clocks displayed 3pm…I wonder why!

Primary 4b enjoyed learning about the decoration found inside Roman houses and had a go at creating their own mosaic vases. To do this, the boys and girls had to create and continue 2D tiling patterns. The mosaics look excellent as everyone experimented with a combination of shapes!

Primary 4b enjoyed exploring the Linguascope website to play games and reinforce the language of pets. The children used this knowledge to finish off their  matching board games and had time to play the game with their friends.

Primary 4b enjoyed visiting the STEM room to explore and play with the Sphero cars and KAPLA. The boys and girls used the various mats to  programme a route for the cars to travel along. They had to use various skills such as communication, adaptability and focussing to ensure their routes worked. The boys and girls also demonstrated perseverance and resilience when using the KAPLA.

This afternoon the ‘Young STEM Leaders’ visited and delivered an input. They worked with the children to build model cars. They then measured the distance the cars travelled and the time it took them to travel this distance. Once the children had gathered this information they were able to use the formula S=D/T to work out the speed of each car! A tricky experiment that everyone enjoyed taking part in.
