This afternoon we had an exciting input from some of the Digital Leaders, Kiera and Malik. They showed the class how to create a digital book cover for our topic study, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Thank you both!

It has been an eventful week in Primary 4b and the children are keen to share their favourite moments.

Alfie – I enjoyed the STEM challenge because we got to play and work with our friends.

Tatiana – I liked doing our writing, describing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Steven – I liked every day!

Anas – I liked when we did Art. We were using oil pastels to create an eye.

Shay – I liked when we did our mental maths.

Martin – I liked building the tower in the STEM challenge.

Ben – I enjoyed PE.

Grace – I liked music with Mrs Carey.

Well done to those children who received Growth Mindset and Star Pupil awards!

 

 

This week is Maths Week Scotland 2022 and we have been celebrating in St. Mark’s with lots of problem solving Numeracy activities.

Today the children took part in a STEAM challenge in which they had to build the tallest tower. They used skills such as communicating, creativity, leading and collaborating.

Well done to the winning team!

The children in Primary 4b have been working their socks off the past few weeks! They have settled in to classroom routines well and are enjoying their Daily Literacy Learning (DLL) sessions, as well as lots of fun opportunities to apply their Numeracy skills through group games. In PE the children have continued to focus on improving their fitness levels and they are developing their communication skills during loose parts play.

Well done also to those children who have been awarded the Growth Mindset or Star Pupil awards!

Today Primary 4b had a visit from Mr McKenna. Mr McKenna showed the children how to use the Numeracy boards and had some fun playing some different games. The children are very excited to use these in class!

In PE today the children were reinforcing and developing their ball skills. Today they were working hard to throw and catch with a partner using a variety of techniques.

Our ‘Star of the Week’ is enjoying his perks! Well done.

It has been another busy week in Primary 4b! This week the children have shared their highlights.
