What an afternoon! The children from p4a and b had the pleasure of visiting St Luke’s High School today to take part in the primary 4  tennis festival. We took part in a number of different activities to develop our tennis skills and ball/racket handling! A huge thank you to the sport leaders and St Luke teachers for such a fun afternoon.

 

After weeks of hard work, the pupils finally got a chance to hang their bird feeders around the playground. What started off as a discussion about climate change, turned into research, designing, re-designing and being resourceful with recycled materials, to finally create these fantastic bird feeders. We’re looking forward to seeing them being used by the local wildlife.

 

Today is Outdoor Classroom Day so we had a jam-packed timetable full of fresh-air fun! This morning we headed outside to demonstrate our numeracy skills using natural materials and chalk. Then mid-morning we took part in a mini golf challenge with the loose parts with Primary 4a. Finally, we finished off this afternoon with some exercise and games in the back field. I think it’s safe to say, there will be a lot of tired pupils tonight 🙂

 

The pupils have been growing crest seeds within the classroom as part of our Science Enquiry on plant growth. Last Friday, we had a lot of interesting discussion, comparing the growth of one crest plant to another, all while wearing amazing Halloween costumes!

This week, we have also been putting the finishing touches onto our bird feeders. We wanted to make these camouflage into the natural environment so decided to use fallen leaves to decorate them. Not long now before we can finally get these into our playground!
