We had another fun session at the Forest. Today we learned to tie a ‘cow hitch’ knot and had fun playing with our friends.

Today was our first Music session with Mrs Carey. We enjoyed revising concepts learned in Primary 3 and had fun singing and playing new rhythms.

This week in Primary 4b we have enjoyed learning across the curriculum.

On Monday, we took part in PE and worked on our fitness levels.

Erin – everyone was trying their best in PE.

Isla – We worked in groups at different stations.

Orla  – My favourite station was the sprinting station.

On Thursday we visited Forest School for the first time in Primary 4. At Forest School we got to play fun games and spend time exploring.

Sarah – I loved sitting in the hammock.

Rida – I liked making and going down the mud slide.

Orla – I liked playing on the big swing.

Erin – I liked when we made a mud swimming pool.

Max – I liked playing ‘beetle tig’.

Our book study is well and truly underway and this week we made fact files about the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl.

Emily – Roald Dahl was also a spy.

Milla – Roald Dahl fought in WW2.

Andrew – Roald Dahl created 250 new words, including snozzberry.

Rida – Roald Dahl wrote all his stories on yellow paper with a pencil.

 

Erin – I liked that our parents got to visit the class this week.

Orla – I liked doing Numeracy this week.

Isla – I liked creating a quiz in Numeracy.

Well done to our award winners this week: Emily, Sarah and Mary! Well done also to Isla who walked 10km on Sunday for charity.

Primary 4b enjoyed participating in Loose Part play. The children were working on talking and listening skills whilst thinking creatively and imaginatively and developing their problem solving ability.

The boys and girls have settled in well to their new class and have been enjoying opportunities to learn across the curriculum. Today they participated in both Daily Literacy and Numeracy stations, explored a new class novel and visited the Library, a busy day indeed!

Hello,

I have attached a short PowerPoint presentation as we cannot have a face-to-face open afternoon at the moment.

I hope this answers any questions you may have and gives you a good insight to our year ahead in Primary 1b.

Thank you for your time,

Miss McAlpine
