On Friday the children in Primary 4b enjoyed the opportunity to investigate, explore and create with the loose parts. They worked very well in teams to design a Roman chariot and their own mode of transport.
Loose Parts
KAPLA
This afternoon the children enjoyed investigating the Kapla blocks to design and create a variety of objects. The children created bridges, modes of transport and even animals!
Solo Talk
Over the past two weeks, Primary 4b have been working hard at home to prepare for their Roman God/Goddess solo talks.
Today every child presented their talks to their peers with confidence. Well done everyone 😊👏.
STEM – The Human Skeleton
This week we have been learning about how the human body works and investigating the bones in our body. Here is an example of some excellent pupil work.
Music🎼
Today Primary 4b were learning about pitch in music. They were able to identify the five hand signals on the Pentatonic scale. Some children were even able to identify where the notes would be placed on the stave.
Roman Shields
Primary 4b have thoroughly enjoyed designing and creating their very own Roman shields.
Young Journalists📝✏️
Today Primary 4b were learning lots of new skills. They were tasked with writing a newspaper report about the Roman Invasion of Britain. The children worked in pairs to research the details, noting down the relevant information on mind maps. They then transferred this information to a newspaper report. Fantastic effort by everyone👏😊🌟.
Sponsored Walk
Primary 4b enjoyed taking part in the SCIAF ‘Soul2Sole’ challenge today. Well done everyone for your effort 👏👟
Learning Through Play
Primary 4b had another exciting morning, learning through play. The children had the opportunity to use 2d shapes to create tiling patterns, programme the Bee-Bot using directional language to navigate through a maze and consolidate previous learning on time. Well done everyone 😊🌟👏.
The Centurion’s Servant
Primary 4b have been learning about the role of Jesus as a teacher and a healer. One of the examples they have chosen to focus on from the gospel is ‘The Cure of the Centurion’s servant’. The children linked this to our Roman IDL topic and enjoyed investigating the story further through drama.
