Primary 4c have been developing their understanding of measurement this week whilst working with Miss Douglas. They have estimated the weight of objects around the classroom and then used different instruments to calculate the weight and compare their estimates. They can confidently sort objects into order from lightest to heaviest and can use the correct language when weighing item
. Well done P4C!

Technology
Primary 4c developed their teamwork skills today in the STEM room. They worked with a small group to design and create an ideal building they would like to find in their local area. They presented their ideas to the class and confidently answered any questions that their peers had.
Have a look at some of the amazing buildings they created!
Cluster Reading Challenge!
A number of our Primary 4 children are taking part in our Cluster Reading Challenge. As part of the challenge we get to take part in lots of fun reading activities. We will be:
- Using the kindles at school and at home.
- Meeting up during lunch times to talk about the books we’ve discovered
- Connecting with other children across the cluster who are ALSO doing the challenge…
…and lots more!
Today we went to Waterstones with book vouchers and we got to choose a book of our very own. We bought Football Books, Billionare Boy Books, Wimpy KID Books… everyone got something different.
It was also great bumping into St Cadoc’s and meeting some of the children in their school who are ALSO doing the challenge. So far we’ve really enjoyed taking part – and we’re looking forward to see what will come next!
Come Visit Glasgow!
Primary 4a have really loved our local area topic! We have been researching and learning about the places we come from, and about different features of our home towns. Last week we used the internet and the chrome Books to research 4 key places and today we are creating a leaflet inviting people to come visit.
We have created leaflets inviting people to come visit; Glasgow, Clarkston, Giffnock, Netherlee AND Thornliebank!
It’s a lot of fun getting to decide how exactly you are going to lay your leaflet out, and choosing what pictures you want to add in. One day – we might get these made and photocopied professionally. This will help people learn more about all the amazing places that exist so close to where they live.
St Patrick’s Day in P4B
P4b participated enthusiastically in St Patrick’s day activities today, learning new facts about St Patrick and how he brought Christianity to Ireland.
World Book Day Celebrations with Primary 4!
Primary 4 had a fantastic time today celebrating World Book Day. We listened to Author’s Live, created Character Profiles, and got the chance to share about some of our favourite books and stories!
Lots of us came to school dressed as book characters from different stories we have read – can you recognize any of our characters??
Special Achievement
Another special achievement awarded in Primary 4d for dancing. A very talented class!
Reconciliation
A huge well done to all the primary four children who made their Reconciliation on Thursday night at St. Joseph’s Church. The children were all delighted to take this next step on their faith journey and all their teachers and families were very proud of the them. Well done primary four!
A Trip to OLM’s Library
Primary 4a really loved getting to visit our new school library. Lots of parents and friends have helped us to make this a really special and cosy place to go and read.
First of all we explored, and everyone chose a new book to read in class and at home.
Then we put on some quiet music, settled down – and spent some time travelling to lots of different worlds. We can’t wait till our next visit!
Class Assembly
Primary 4c enjoyed having their parents come into school and see their class assembly on Other World Religions. The children all spoke clearly and confidently and should be proud of the effort the put in to learning their parts.
