Month: September 2021

This week, the pupils have enjoyed a change of pace in their Numeracy lessons as they have taken on a number of challenges as part of Maths Week Scotland. Every day the children have made their way through a digital Escape Room, cracking the codes on each door as they make their way through.

The challenges have been an excellent opportunity for the students to put their problem solving skills to the test whilst building their Growth Mindset.

In this challenge, the students were asked to move only two pencils to have the counter ‘move’ from the inside of the glass to the outside. Well done to Hannah and Ben for completing this challenge first!

We have this challenge and a similar challenge posted to our Google Classroom if you want to work together on a new challenge tonight! Best of luck!

It’s been a busy week in P4a! Here’s a quick look at some of the exciting things the student’s have been up to…

 

Ball skills

We’ve been developing our ball skills, practising dribbling, passing, receiving and much more!

Stress balls

As part of HWB we have been learning about our feelings and emotions. While discussing worry and stress, we came up with a list of strategies to help us manage this emotion and as a result made stress balls.

Plant growing

Mrs Harvey was back in the classroom today and helped the students to better understand what a plant needs to grow and together the class created their first Science Investigation of the year. We can’t wait to see these grow over the next week.

Today the student’s enjoyed an exciting Science lesson with Mrs Harvey.

Have you ever peeled a broad bean to see what you might find inside? If not, why not ask your P4b pupil what they discovered in today’s lesson. There is something rather exciting inside that starts with an ‘e’.  Ask your child if they can remember the name of this (very important) part of the bean.

We’re thrilled to be able to be sing once again in school! The students of P4b have such beautiful voices that I simply had to share this short clip from their first music lesson with Mrs Carey!

We can’t wait for our second lesson next week!
