Primary 7a 2024 – 2025

We’ve had a spooky day in P4a with such amazing costumes!  We were pretending to be witches making potions to learn about chemical reactions.  We had a great end to the day, dancing at our party!

We have had a great couple of weeks in P4a!

To prepare for COP26, we used our note-taking skills to learn more about climate change.  We loved creating our mind maps.

During Maths Week we used our problem solving skills to find our way out of a virtual escape room.  We have also been developing different strategies to help us divide.

In music we learned about pitch.  We had great fun adding this to our knowledge of rhythm to play a simple melody.

We also had lots of fun again during our outdoor learning.  Our imaginations are incredible and they led us to build a huge range of creations – from shoe shops to slides, from cars to dens…

We had a fun start to the week working on our tennis skills with the St Luke’s Sports Leaders.

We also used our reading skills and learned how to find Bible passages from their references.

In Outdoor Learning, we were challenged to negotiate with other groups for the loose parts we wanted.

Finally, in Science, we designed a fair test investigating whether seeds need water to grow.  We’re excited to see what will happen next!

This week, we’ve been drawing pizzas to help us learn about equivalent fractions and finding fractions of amounts.  We then finished off the week having fun exploring what plants need to grow.

P4a loved getting to work on our tennis skills with the sports leaders from St Luke’s.  Our favourite game was definitely trying to hit them with tennis balls!  We can’t wait to work with them again next week.

It’s been so nice to catch up and see each other since we came back.  We have settled into our new class really well and are quickly getting back into routine.

We discussed what we think makes good learners, created our class charter and set ourselves some goals for the year.  We decided that our key word this year is going to be perseverance.  We’re ready to do our best and give it a go in P4!

We were absolute stars and had such good fun at sports day.

We have loved getting outside to work with our loose parts!  The teamwork, problem solving and creativity has been fantastic!

We took music outdoors, listening to Peter and the Wolf and creating our own 4 beat rhythms.
