A Busy Time in P4b!
It has been a busy time in Primary 4b!
Primary 7 came and read some of Jesus’ miracles to us during Catholic Education Week.
Mr Harris came from St Ninian’s to teach us Scratch Coding. We have enjoyed programming our Cat and Pokemon and we are even creating our own games!
Mrs Neil came and introduced us to the Hour of Code website where we created a Dance Music Video! It was great fun and we are looking forward to using it again during Hour of Code Week.
We have been working with our writing partners to write disaster stories called The Nightmare Just Before Christmas, they’re coming along nicely!
When we were asked to create poems about Autumn but winter had almost arrived, we used the VR Headsets to go on an Autumn Walk and use our sense of sight. We then went outside to find inspiration for our other senses!
Outdoor Classroom Day
Primary 4b enjoyed creating symmetrical pictures in our outdoor classroom. We gathered items from nature and worked together in pairs to create some beautiful work!
Mary’s Meals
Primary 4 took part in the Mary’s Meals Porridge Smiles Party on Friday 26th October. We worked with Mrs Baird and Mrs McArdle to design a bowl of porridge and had fun doing it. We have raised over £300 and counting, towards the Porridge Smiles appeal. It costs just £13.90 to feed a child for a whole school year so every penny really does count.
Measurement
P4b have been learning about estimating and measure in Maths. We used our knowledge of everyday objects and our eye for detail to estimate the length of items of our choice. We measured the items and recorded and compared the results.
We then used some different measuring instruments to measure larger objects and distance outside. Our estimates improved with practice!
P4b Achievements
Scotland Street School
Primary 4b have been learning about Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Social Studies. This week we went on a trip to Scotland Street School Museum.
In the morning we met the Head Master; he was very strict! We went on a tour of some of the museum and learned about what life would have been like for children when the school first opened. Boys and girls played separately and even took different lessons! The girls would learn how to cook, clean and look after a home, whilst the boys learned woodwork and other skills to prepare them for the world of work.
In the afternoon we took part in a workshop called Shapes of Mackintosh which was great fun! We loved being in a building that Charles Rennie Mackintosh had designed and enjoyed looking at all of the hidden shapes and symbols.
