Religious Education

Today Primary 4b were learning about the importance of forgiveness. The children worked in pairs to locate, and then read, a story from the Bible about a man called Zacchaeus. In the story, the children learned that Zacchaeus had sinned by stealing money from the people in his town. Jesus forgave Zacchaeus and he became a better person. The children enjoyed acting out this story in their groups and had a very interesting discussion about how it feels to be forgiven.

 

Ocean Pollution Research

We have been using our Daily Literacy sessions this week to research the impact of ocean pollution. We have found some really interesting and shocking facts that we will use in our writing.

Thank you also to Orla who visited the beach at the weekend and brought in photographs of the plastic waste and rubbish she noticed.

Ocean Pollution

In Primary 4b, we have been keeping an eye on the RSPB website for the results of the bird watch we recently took part in. On this website, we were really upset to read the results of the recent RSPB Seabird count. We discovered that ‘almost half of the breeding seabird species have declined across the UK and two thirds of the species breeding in Scotland’. We decided as a class to research into these figures to gain a better understanding of what is happening in the world. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that plastic pollution had a lot to do with the decline in seabirds and we have decided as a class to create a campaign to reduce plastic pollution in our seas and oceans.

Erin – “I feel sad looking at the pictures because this is happening in our world.”

Milla – “I feel angry people have created this mess.”

David – “I feel sad that there really is this much junk in our oceans.”

Mary – “I feel upset because animals and fish shouldn’t be eating the plastic but they don’t know.”

Over the next week we hope to get our campaign up and running, watch this space!

Roman Soldiers

Primary 4b have been thoroughly enjoying learning about The Romans as part of their interdisciplinary topic. This week the children learned about Julius Caesar and what life would have been like in the Roman Army. The children worked in pairs to research the uniform a Roman Soldier would have worn and everyone agreed it did not sound appealing!
