Primary 4b made the most of the beautiful weather on Friday with lots of opportunities for outdoor learning.

During Loose Parts Play the children were tasked with creating a habitat for a creature, big or small, including the three things needed for survival: food, shelter and water. Each team worked well together and were able to meet the design brief. One group created a minibeast hotel that even had a guest visitor!

In the afternoon the children finished their research about habitats around the world and presented this to their peers outside before making use of the trim trail for a Friday afternoon treat.

Primary 4b today were tasked with a collaborative Numeracy problem – to work within a budget when planning a class trip. Everyone successfully applied Numeracy skills to work out the cost of a trip to the Falkirk Wheel.

After spending time learning about habitats and mapping potential Minibeast habitats found in the playground, Primary 4b explored these habitats further to look for minibeasts. The children found a wide variety of creatures and were pleased to add this information to their maps.

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!
